About Argentina
Argentina, meaning land of silver, is a rich and vast land second largest (after Brazil) in South America and eighth largest in the world. Its heartland is a broad grassy plain known as the Pampas (pronounced PAHM-pahs). At the very bottom of South America, sharing a long border with skinny Chile, this fascinating nation so steeped in European culture extends more than 3,000 miles from Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia in the north to the enchanted islands of Tierra del Fuego in the south.
