Description
Argentina is the eighth largest country in the world and the second largest in South America after Brazil. A country of great beauty and diversity, Argentina's varied geography can be attributed to its incredible length - 2,300 miles (3,700 kilometers) in all! The climate is equally wide-ranging, from very hot in the north, near the Equator, to very cold in the south. The name Argentina means “silver,” and early Spanish explorers came to the country to make a fortune from this precious ore. Although silver was never found in great quantities in Argentina, the name stayed. Argentina's capital is Buenos Aires, a cosmopolitan city that gives the country much of its pulse.
