South American Explorers Club

By Brian Hagenbuch

With almost 30 years in business, South America Explorers continues growing with the recently inaugurated Buenos Aires clubhouse, joining well-established centers in Lima, Cuzco, and Quito. Membership – check the website for prices - allows access to the large stock of first-hand reports from fellow travelers, an invaluable resource for trip planning. The clubhouse also has a good selection of English-language books that can be checked out and an in-house reference library. There is also a book exchange, free internet and WiFi and a comfortable lounge and terrace for relaxing or researching. A good selection of English-language guidebooks and maps, hard to find in the city, can be bought. But above all, the clubhouse is a great place to meet well-informed, socially minded travelers and have a cup of good tea before heading back out into the wild. Clubhouse staff is also prepared for members looking to stay longer in Buenos Aires, with information on Spanish courses and how to go about getting an apartment or flat share. And sign up for the mailing list via email to receive information on events such as classes and parties.
