Garden House BA - Argentina

Argentina, "the land of the six continents", is a gift from Mother Nature. From the Tropic of Capricorn to the Antartic Circle, it stretches with its rain forests, its waterfalls, forests, lakes and glaciers. It is the green of the Pampa and the spectacular geological formations that touch the sky, its fauna, its enchanting cities.The name Argentina comes from the latin "argentum" which means silver. The origin of the name goes back to the voyages made by the first spanish conquerors to the River Plate. The shipwrecked survivors of the expedition mounted by Juan Díaz de Solís found indians in the region who gave them silver objects as presents. This fed the legends that told that the region had rich silver deposits, and gave the name to the river beside which Buenos aires was built (Río de la Plata).Since 1860 the official name of the country has been the Republic of Argentina.
