About the country
Argentina is the second largest country in South America with a population of 37 million. It is nestled between Chile and Uruguay and faces the South Atlantic Ocean. The Argentine landscape is composed of rich plains, rolling plateaus, rugged mountains, and tropical forests. Argentina stretches from the highest peak in South America, Cerro Aconcagua, to the lowest point on the continent, the Valdes peninsula.
