Argentina Introduction

Argentina is one of the most sophisticated and interesting countries in South America. It has a mix of many different nationalities and many cultures. Argentina is very rich in natural resources and agriculture is their strongest industry. Argentina’s landscape varies widely from prairies to rushing rivers, and wide lakes to icebergs. Buenos Aires, Argentina’s capital, is one of the world’s largest cities. Because of its size however, its 12 million citizens have to put up with a very crowded city. Argentina has an average of 46 degrees F and normally has a temperate climate. More than two thirds of Argentina does not receive enough rain for extensive agriculture, so fields must be irrigated.
