Landscapes of Argentina: From Andes to Pampas to Patagonia

Argentina's immense north–south span creates extraordinary geographic diversity:

1. The Andes: Western border; highest peaks outside Asia (Aconcagua 6,961 m); glaciers, deep valleys.
2. The Pampas: Central fertile plains; agricultural heartland; flat to rolling grasslands.
3. Patagonia: South; glaciers (Perito Moreno), forests, steppe, rugged mountains.
4. Gran Chaco: Northeast; subtropical forests, wetlands, savanna.
5. Mesopotamia: Northeast between Paraná & Uruguay Rivers; humid, agricultural.
6. The Puna: Northwest; high-altitude desert plateau, volcanoes, salt flats.
7. Cuyo: West-central; wine country (Mendoza), Andean foothills.

From tropical wetlands to polar glaciers, Argentina contains nearly every terrestrial biome.
