Europe; it stretches 3,460 km from N to S and 1,580 km from E to W.

across the Andes mountains. The Argentine Andes rise to a height of 6,959 m
at Aconcagua, the heights elevation in the Americas, but much of Argentina
is low lying and flat. Argentina's climate ranges from subtropical in the
northeast, to temperate in the central region, to arid and semiarid and cold

North and Mesopotamia , the Pampas , and Patagonia . But as tourist areas,
we also recognize two other: Buenos Aires and the Coast Line.
