Country guide
Argentina is 2,780,400 km², the eighth-largest country on earth, and the practical consequence is that its regions do not substitute for one another. Twenty-three provinces and one autonomous city take in subtropical forest and the Iguazú falls in the northeast, the flat cattle country of the Pampas around Buenos Aires, the Andean front of Cuyo where Aconcagua reaches 6,960 m, and then Patagonia, where the glaciers are and where the ground falls to 105 m below sea level at Laguna del Carbón. Choosing a city here is mostly a question of latitude and season.
