\"Pampas,<\/a>

Gravel road between the endless Pampas<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Away from the urban monotony of Argentina lies a diverse landscape comprising grasslands, rivers, forested hills, and salt lakes. Popular in musical folklore, this rich biome is where sunflowers and golden wheat \u201ctoss their heads in sprightly dance.\u201d In an otherwise dull landscape lies some attractive little towns … and the Gauchos, who live on horseback and conjure up an image of a romantic cowboy. Visiting these lowlands can be the high point of your journey in South America.<\/p>\n

History<\/span><\/h2>\n

Its name ‘Pampa’ means ‘Plain surface’ in Quechua language.<\/p>\n
