Region

The Pampas

Americas

The Pampas are the vast, fertile lowland grasslands of south-central South America, covering most of central Argentina and stretching into Uruguay and the Rio Grande do Sul region of southern Brazil. Their deep, nutrient-rich soils and temperate climate have made the region one of the world's great agricultural and cattle-ranching zones, and its horseback ranching culture produced the iconic gaucho tradition.

Which parts of Argentina Uruguay and Brazil make up the Pampas?

Five Argentine provinces, all of Uruguay and Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil.

The Pampas cover more than 1,200,000 square kilometres (460,000 square miles). In Argentina they include the provinces of Buenos Aires, La Pampa, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos and Córdoba. They also take in all of Uruguay and Brazil's southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul, so the grasslands run across three national borders.
