Time now, current time in the world

Argentina occupies the south and southeast of the continent, the second largest country in South America after Brazil and the eighth largest in the world. Regarding Argentina, we immediately consider the Argentine tango, gaucho, Evita, and Maradona. But this is not all that Argentina is rich in, and most tourists come here to see the beauty of this country's nature personally. There is something to see here: the desert landscapes of the south contrast with the beauty of the Andes mountain peaks in the south, and the Iguazu Falls are as beautiful as the untouched beauty of Patagonia. Buenos Aires, a legendary city that amazes with its unique style and neo-European culture, rises above the country like a crown. If you decide to visit Argentina, you will be completely confused after receiving the first information about the country. There are few such large countries where you can see many interesting things. For those living in the northern hemisphere, Argentina offers the opportunity to enjoy summer twice a year. The country is so big that you can come here in any season. Buenos Aires is beautiful at any time of year. If you want to go to Patagonia, somewhere in the Moreno Glacier in Santa Cruz, it is better to do it in the summer (between December and February). The Iguazu Falls in the subtropics of the province of Misiones are most attractive in winter when the heat and humidity subside.

 

Currency. The Argentine peso is equal to 100 centavos. Banknotes of 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, and 1 pesos and coins of 50, 20, 10, 5, and 1 centavos are in circulation.

 

Area – 2776890 sq. km. Capital – Buenos Aires. Argentina is a country in the south and southeast of the continent. It is the second largest country in South America after Brazil and the eighth largest in the world. According to its surface structure, Argentina can be divided into two parts: elevated (southeast) and flat (northwest). The western border runs along the Andes chain. The territory has several natural regions.

 

Argentina has three climatic zones: tropical, subtropical, and temperate. Average annual temperatures range from +24C in the north to +5C in the south. The country's climate is formed mainly by maritime air masses from the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is moderate over most of the country. The northeast is subtropical and humid, and the winters are mild. In the south, it is much colder, and it rains most of the year.

 

In Buenos Aires, the summer months are very hot, and most inhabitants leave for vacation right after Christmas. In January and February, the city is empty. In winter, the weather is very pleasant for Europeans; the temperature drops, but not significantly.

 

There are about 35 million people. Ninety percent of Argentines are white and are descendants of Italians and Spaniards. The Indian population (often already mixed with whites) makes up only 4.5 percent of the population. The original peoples and tribes, such as Mapuches, Collas, Tobas, and Matacos, now make up only 0.5 percent.
