Geographical Regions
The country is also divided into six or seven regions (seven when The Pampas is divided into the Pampas' plains and Pampas' sierras):
| Region | Provinces included |
|---|---|
| Argentine Northwest | Jujuy, Salta, Tucumán, Catamarca, La Rioja |
| Gran Chaco | Formosa, Chaco, Santiago del Estero |
| Mesopotamia | Misiones, Entre Ríos, Corrientes |
| Cuyo | San Juan, Mendoza, San Luis |
| The Pampas | Córdoba, Santa Fe, La Pampa, Buenos Aires |
| Patagonia | Rio Negro, Neuquén, Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego |
Even though there are provinces that belong to more than one region, they are shown here within the most representative region. In the Tucumán province, the smallest of Argentina, coexist three regions: the Pampas to the south, Gran Chaco to the northeast, and Argentine Northwest.

Famous quotes containing the words geographical and/or regions:
“While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
