The Pampas
The vast flat plains of the Pampas are Argentina's agricultural
heartland and the home of the
gaucho (cowboy). Lying
southwest of Buenos Aires is the location of Argentina's famous
beef and grain industry, the source of the country's wealth. The
area is festooned with small agricultural towns, which are home to
the majority of Argentina's population, but hold little to interest
the tourist. There are however excursions available to different
ranches during which one can enjoy a day's horseriding and feasting
on
asado.
