silver objects as gifts.
Argentina
can roughly be divided into three parts: the fertile plains of the
Pampas
in the central part of the country, the flat to rolling plateau of
Patagonia in the southern half down to
Tierra del Fuego
; and the rugged
Andes
mountain range along the western border with
Chile
. Here, lies one of the famous 7 summits, Cerro Aconcagua at 6,960 m.
