Argentina Top Destinations - Best Places to visit in Argentina
Argentina, officially the
Argentine Republic, is a federal republic located in southeastern South
America. Sharing the bulk of the Southern Cone with its neighbor Chile to the
west, the country is also bordered by Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil
to the northeast, Uruguay and the South Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the
Drake Passage to the south.
Argentina is divided into seven Geographical Regions:
- Northwest, a continuation of the high Puna with even higher, more rugged topography to the far-west; the arid precordillera, filled with narrow valleys or quebradas to the mid-west; and an extension of the mountainous Yungas jungles to the east.
- Mesopotamia, a subtropical wedge covering the western Paraná Plateau and neighboring lowlands enclosed by the Paraná and Uruguay rivers.
- Gran Chaco, a large, subtropical and tropical low-lying, gently sloping alluvial plain between Mesopotamia and the Andes.
- Sierras Pampeanas, a series of medium-height mountain chains located in the center.
- Cuyo, a basin and range area in the central Andes piedmont, to the west.
- Pampas, a massive and hugely fertile alluvial plain located in the center east.
- Patagonia, a large southern plateau consisting mostly of arid, rocky steppes to the east; with moister cold grasslands to the south and dense subantarctic forests to the west.
