Map of Argentina

Argentina is a country located in the southern part of South America. Covering an area of 2,780,400 sq.km (1,073,500 sq mi), Argentina is the world’s 8th largest country, the 2nd largest country in South America, and the 4th largest country in the Americas. The geography of Argentina include 5 major regions, starting with the rainforest area of the far-northeast along its border with Brazil; the swampy and flat Chaco plain; the fertile (almost treeless) grasslands of the Central Pampas; the lengthy plateau of Patagonia that stretches to Tierra del Fuego; and the Andes Mountains along its western border with Chile. 

As observed on the physical map of Argentina above, the Pampas, one of the largest fertile plains in the world, covers almost one-third of Argentina’s land area.

Bordered by mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, the legendary landscape of Patagonia displays huge forests, sizeable mountains, valleys, and many cold-water lakes. The Andes Mountains in Argentina contain advancing glaciers including the Perito Moreno glacier, as well as “Cerro Aconcagua” – at 22,831ft (6,959m) is the tallest mountain in South America and in the Southern and Western hemispheres [as marked on the map as a yellow upright triangle]. The lowest point in Argentina as well as the Southern and Western hemispheres is Laguna del Carbon at -344ft (-105m), below the sea level. An inverted yellow triangle marks this extreme point on the physical map.

Argentina is also home to impressive Iguazu Falls, and over 250 additional waterfalls of size. Major rivers include the Colorado, Negro, Paraguay, Parana, Salado and Uruguay. The Uruguay and Parana flow together before meeting the Atlantic Ocean forming the basin of the Rio de la Plata.
