Argentina, vision of Nature and History

 From the multicolored falls of Iguaçu to the vast arid spaces of Patagonia, exuberant nature floods the country with its vertical and horizontal vertigo. Buenos Aires, a true European center, stands as a capital of art and history. Its soul is reflected through a melancholic and sensual dance, of which it was the residence, the tango. Across Argentina, the Latin American baroque, born from the meeting of the refined style of the Indians and the exaltation of Western abundance, flourishes the architectural vestiges as much Inique as religious. In the northwest of the country, land with Inca roots, the provinces of Salta and Jujuy are the nest of a syncretism celebrating as much pagan divinities as Catholic saints. Finally, the gauchos, sometimes mixed race or simply sons of European immigrants, made the pampas their universe from the 18th century. Straddling the great outdoors, they look after sometimes gigantic herds.
