| Argentina |
| |
| Argentina’s geography encompasses a staggering
diversity of climates, from hot and humid jungles
(northeast) to bone-dry highland steppes (northwest)
to windswept Patagonia. Across the broad midriff stretch
are Argentina's most archetypal landscapes: the mostly
flat pampas grazed by cattle, subtly beautiful scenery
formed by horizon-to-horizon plains interspersed with
low sierras, and punctuated by small agricultural
towns, the odd ranch and countless clumps of pampas
grass.
In Buenos Aires the weather is mild, though heat
and high humidity can be oppressive during the summer
(December to March) with temperatures reaching 35°C
- 40°C, with an upwards of 90% humidity. By
contrast, the winter (June to August) is mild but
often wet, although temperatures rarely drop below
5° C. |
| |
| Here's a look at the country’s
six major regions: |
| |
| The Pampas |
| |
| These fertile plains consist of the Humid Pampas
along the seaboard, and the Dry Pampas in the west
and south. The region includes Buenos Aires, as well
as the world-class beaches of its surrounding area.
|
| |
| Cuyo & the Andean Northwest |
| |
| Region of volcanic peaks and salty lakes. Very little
rain falls in Cuyo, though to the east are the fertile
river valleys and subtropical lowlands of the Gran
Chaco. |
| |
| The Chaco (West) |
| |
| This parched area in the west is part of the enormous
Gran Chaco, a region that Argentina shares with Bolivia,
Paraguay, and Brazil. The Chaco contains both grassland
and thorny forests. |
| |
| Mesopotamia & the Northeast |
| |
| The Mesopotamia region is a broad, flat plain between
the Parana and Uruguay Rivers in northern Argentina.
It’s also wet, swampy and extremely hot during
the summer. The northern province of Misiones is densely
forested and contains the majestic Iguazu Falls. |
| |
| Patagonia and the Lake District |
| |
| Much of Patagonia, and almost all of the area south
of the Rio Colorado, experiences a desert climate,
although temperatures range from mild to subzero and
terrain varies from bucolic river valleys to the gigantic
Andes. Its cool grazing grounds support enormous flocks
of sheep, and numerous fruit and vegetable farms can
be found in the valleys. Patagonia also holds vast
reserves of oil and coal. |
| |
| Tierra del Fuego |
| |
| The Tierra del Fuego (“Land of Fire”)
is actually an archipelago including the Isla Grande
de Tierra del Fuego –which Argentina shares
with neighbouring Chile– and numerous smaller
islands. Northern Isla Grande is similar in terrain
to Patagonia's plains, while the mountainous area
in the south is filled with forests and glaciers.
Its climate is usually mild year-round, although storms
are frequent. |
