Description

The second largest country in South America, Argentina occupies most of the southern part of the continent between the Andes mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Argentina is a rugged and beautiful country extending from her towering Andes Mountains in the west to her exotic sun-drenched beaches in the east. The country contains the breathtaking Iguassu Falls, and the famous Christ of the Andes statue on the border of Chile and Argentina. In the southern part of the country lies the sub-antarctic Patagonia -- a very large and dry windswept plateau that contains some of the world's most unique animals, including penguins, sea lions and elephant seals. Argentina's largest city and capital, Buenos Aires, holds nearly half of her total population. Argentines are a blend of many European nationalities, although Spanish and Italians are dominant. Along the country's rugged plains, Gauchos -- or Argentine cowboys -- herd cattle and sheep. They are famous for their ability to break wild horses. Argentina exports few industrial products, depending largely on agricultural goods for its revenues. It is the world's third largest producer of meat, fourth largest producer of wool, and ranks fourth in the number of sheep and cattle per capita. Argentina is also one of the most important exporters of wheat in the world. The rest of the country's export products include corn, soybeans, cotton and hides. Argentina is a beautiful country with a panorama of natural resources, breathtaking vistas and famous sights.
