Argentina (ahr-juhn-tee-nuh)

Country

Argentina offers a stunning variety of landscapes, from the subtropical north to the subantarctic south, including the majestic Andes mountain range, the fertile Pampas, and the desolate beauty of Patagonia. Its cultural richness is influenced by Indigenous, Spanish, and Italian roots, evident in its tango, cuisine, and vibrant arts scene. Argentina's history is marked by periods of dramatic political change and economic fluctuations, culminating in its independence from Spain in 1816. The country's name comes from the Latin "argentum," meaning silver, a nod to the silver mountains legend pursued by early European explorers.
