An extreme sport (also called action sport or adventure sport) is a popular term for certain activities which have high level of danger. These activities often involve speed, height, physical exertion, and highly specialized gear or spectacular stunts.

As staff members of the

Adventure Holidays Travel Agency, you will have to solve

some important issues on the subject!

Introduction

The Adventure Holiday Travel

Agency wants to offer a new

service for young customers: a

package-holiday offering three

different extreme sports

activities that can be done in

Argentina.

Hold a debate with your

partners discussing different

options. Finally, present your

views to the Agency manager.

Task

In Pairs go through the different websites suggested in RESOURCES and

think of the possible activities which could be offered in Argentina.

Consider customers’ age, transport, accommodation, equipment, etc.

In groups of four discuss your findings and share each other’s views.

Considering that you have to offer three activities within a certain area,

take a final decision on the three activities to be offered.

about the place where they can be carried out and images to illustrate the
