Pampas

Cities; night life; nature; horses; polo; jumping and everything a rider could want. The Pampas region has all these and more to offer.

Location

Buenos Aires, La Pampa and parts of Córdoba, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos and San Luis provinces make up the famous Region Pampeana (Pampa Region). This is a vast plain that surprises visitors with its huge extension. A long time ago, when Spanish colonizers arrived in this area, there were hardly any trees. As a result, it looked like a grass desert. Nowadays, all the trees were planted by the owners of the giant estancias built during the colonization.

The Pampas are known for being one of the most fertile areas of the word. Therefore, this is the most productive region of Argentina in terms of agriculture and meat. As a result, 80 % of Argentina’s population is concentrated in this area. Buenos Aires capital city, and other important cities, such as Mar del Plata, Bahia Blanca, Santa Fe, and Rosario are located in this region.

This region summarizes a lot of the Argentine spirit and way of life. On the one hand, Buenos Aires city represents its modern life. It is a city that never sleeps!
