Touristic Regions of Argentina
Touristic Regions of Argentina
      As our country is so extensive and diverse in its landscapes, it has been divided in it 6 touristic regions, as well as the National Tourism Secretary (SECTUR) do it. This Secretary, having the support and cooperation from the touristic enterprisals since 1992, presents Argentina as "The 6 Continent's Country". In this way, they try to distinguish the most different touristic sceneries that our country has, so that when the passengers come, they have the idea that "coming to Argentina is to visit many sceneries from the world in just 1 trip". We present the main features from each one of the 6 touristic regions:
  • NORTHWEST: In the Northwest & Whose they are combined of unique way the rich history of our ancestors with the splendor that shines of the nature, transforming it into "Land of spectacular resistances", where their more dissimilar ends are combined: Valleys, Quebradas and Puna. More..
  • Chaco or Grand Chaco is a low, flat, alluvial plain northward from Asuncion, on the other side of the Rio Paraguay river. It is a very sparsely settled territory, three times bigger then the whole Czech republic. More...
  • Mesopotamia The Mesopotamia is framed by two great rivers, the Parana and Uruguay, that include/understand three provinces with different appearances: Between Rivers, Currents and Missions. These two rivers come together forming a delta, to give birth to the River of the Silver. Between Rivers it is to per it of green plains unfolded between blades and lomadas, however, Currents and Missions form an incomparable unfolding of color, due to the biological diversity of the paranaense subtropical forest, the red Earth and the Humedales of the Iberá.

  • Central Sierras   This is a region of sierras with hills of medium height. It comprises valleys, plains and plateaux called pampas (of around 1000 m.a.s.l.) crossed by several rivers and streams suitable for the practice of swimming. More...
  • Cuyo  The region of Cuyo contains the Provinces of Mendoza, San Luis, San Juan and La Rioja. It has a varied topography, surrounded by sites of historical interest, which maintain countless memories of San Martin's epic. The urban centers are a conjunction of antiquity and modernity. Narrow streets, low buildings, museums, monuments, churches and convents make contrast with dynamic commercial centers. More...
  • Patagonia  It is the amplest region of the country and one extends between the Mountain range of the andes and the Atlantic Ocean. The Patagonia is the last austral border of America. Its vast extension is made up of different natural atmospheres, from virgin and mysterious forests, marine coasts in Land of the Fire and the Atlantic, frozen channels that establish the aim of America and the beginning of the Antarctic continent, barren interminable central steppes and the bulk of the andes in whose slopes crystalline lakes rest and the magnificent glaciers of the continental ice. This natural spectacle complements with one riquísima native vegetation and fauna in true state of fullness, as it happens in few Earth places. More...

Islas Malvinas, officially Colony of the Falkland Islands, group of islands (1991 pop. 2,121), 4,618 sq mi (11,961 sq km), S Atlantic, c.300 mi (480 km) E of the Strait of Magellan.

The population is almost entirely British, Christian, and English-speaking. More...
