PROVINCES OF ARGENTINA EXPLAINED (Geography Now!) 

THANKS SO MUCH to all YOU guys the Argentinian Geograpeeps for being a part of this video and especially our guest star Martin! I actually had plans to go to Argentina this year but unfortunately, ... You know. But yeah. Hopefully sometime in the future when things change. Otherwise, ENJOY THIS Episode!

Uruguay: Argentina’s Canada

No creí estar vivo para ver a la bomba tucumana en Geography Now.

Random guy: do you want hot water? Argentina: No Random guy: what if i add a bunch of yerba to it? Argentina: perhaps

the video: *made so foreigners can learn the geography of argentina* the viewers: *argentinians*

You guys forgot to mention that Chubut has the argentinosaurus, the biggest dinosaur ever found, in the city of Trelew!

“How many carnivals do you want? Argentina: “yes”

Fun fact: Argentina is so big that we don't even know every culture of each province, so this video is also educating Argentinians about themselves lol

Love from Poland 🇵🇱 We love Argentina for the celebration of the Pole 🇦🇷

This is truly a che boludo moment

Santiago del Estero is the Alabama of Argentina

I've always wanted to visit Argentina. Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾 🇦🇷

Argentina be like School +75% Economy -90% Football +50% Politics -1000% Asado +100000%

I like the cut to random Welshman pronouncing words in a farm.

Haha Argentina looks like a such a good country (Mentira saquenme de aca porfavor)

Yo siendo de Argentina: ya sabes esto para que lo vas a ver? My english side: idk i just wanna know-

"Córdoba es conocida por el cuarteto, un ritmo musical parecido a la cumbia" (*pone imágenes de cuartetos de cuerdas*)

I'm from Argentina and I've never heard of that place called "la pampa".

“I love Uruguay, but they don’t like us that much” *sad Argentina noises* 😔

it's very funny to see how most of the comments are in english but we all know que somos puros argentinos viendo el video porque amamos ver a gente de otros paises hablando de Argentina

Love to Argentina from England. Hope we can put the past behind us 🤝

In Brazil, we call the people of Argentina “hermanos”, despite that not being a Portuguese word, to aknowledge them as our closest neighbor.

Greetings to all mis hermanos argentinos, from Stockholm, Sweden! I lived in La Plata, Argentina for one year as an exchange student, and this really brings me back! I traveled a lot but I kind of liked Ushuaia the most! Saludos boludos!

Man, this Argentina sounds really cool, and the people look friendly. Kudos from Argentina.

So Argentina is basically Italy and Spains lovechild who hung around with the welsh too much

The Queen of the Netherlands was also born in Buenos Aires.

As an Argentine who went to North Dakota, I agree with the analogy with La Pampa.

mis aplausos para el tucumano que metio a gladys la bomba tucumana en el medio de todo esto.

I love Argentina. I want to visit it someday. ❤ From Croatia 🇭🇷🇦🇷

Hey Argentina. Brazilian here. All of my love to our hermanos.

"OH AND WE FORGOT ONE LAST PROVINCE: URUGUAY" Bruh. We've been waiting for our country's turn for so long, you can't just do us like that lol

Man Alfajores are delicious , here in Brazil there’s some stores that sell it

in germany we call places with no population and nothing around there "pampa". so when your car broke down in the middle of nowhere you say "mitten in der pampa" (in the middle of nowhere) so the name for the pampa province makes kinda sence for me

I think the reason Argentine and British people click so well is that, essentially, we're both cheeky bastards and we like that about each other(?); Insult culture, "Cargadas" in Argentina, banter here, this weird thing of relentlessly bullying each other being much more a sign of friendship than being nice to each other is is something I don't think necessarily translates to many other cultures, but of the several Argentine people I've met I've felt that from each of them and we had a great time over it! Also football/soccer. We're still annoyed about that match in 1986.

Saludos desde Iraq! Mate es muy popular en Siria y Líbano. Ojalá me voy a viajare a este hermosa país.

Argentina is annoying, they always get paired with my country (Nigeria) in the World Cup and they kick us out 🤦🏾‍♂️😭😂

fun fact: argentina is home to the largest group of english and welsh diaspora outside of the english speaking world

Wow, Argentina looks like one of the most interesting and beautiful countries in the world with a lot of food and nice people. Greetings from Argentina.

WOW! As a Taiwanese, I never know the place at the other side of the earth shares the same name. Thank you Geography Now.

I love Argentina. It's my dream to visit there. From a Scotsman.

Taiwanese here, love Argentina's nature and cuisines. Big basketball fan of Manu Ginobili. And i'd never thought our country would be mentioned in a video about Argentina's administrative divisions. Cheers!

La Pampa is actually a slang term in France to talk about the middle of nowhere.

Poor Uruguay, the underrated child from Argentina and Brazil

Mate is extremely popular in Syria as well. Us Syrians always drink it 😂

12:15 "Now the R is making a sh sound" "Depends on where you R" LOL!

I'm from 🇵🇭 and I like Argentina. I hope to visit the country someday. Oh, and congrats on winning the World Cup. Felicitaciones!

Hi! I'm from Mendoza, "the land of the sun and the great wine"!! Fun fact is that we forested a desert zone. We didn't have many natural vegetation so our aboriginals population (huarpes, puelches and pehuenches) did a watering system to bring the melted ice from the top of the mountains down so we could have water for growing vegetation. That watering system is called "asequias" and we still use and live from them nowadays. The biggest park in the whole country, "Parque General San Martín", was grown thanks to this system (it's like our Central Park). It hardly ever rains over here and it's sunny almost the entire year. We also are known for our ski parks, fauna (Cóndores, falcons, deers, and Gato montés among others) and mostly for the "Fiesta de la vendimia". A festivity where we celebrate the harvesting of our grapes to produce wine. It's an international festivity that starts with a parade, then followed by a dance show in an anphyteatre and finally ends whit the election of a Queen to represent mendocinian culture all around the world for a whole year. Mendoza city was also recognized as the best city in the world to learn spanish and one of the most beautiful citys in Latin America. We are know for being hard working people, pretty intolerant to lazzyness and we have the least percentage of analphabetism in the country. We also have a tradition that we'll never violate: napping time after lunch ("la siesta"). We are very patriotics and proud of our province so it's a place you definitely want to visit (especially our mountains). Hope this was enlightening for someone!!

I'm so happy Y Wladfa was mentioned! My dad's a native Welsh speaker from Wales and he always told me stories of Y Wladfa growing up. I myself was born in Scotland and I know there's Scottish heritage in Argentina too, so I've always been obsessed with Argentina in general. Saludos desde Escocia!

The accent that's known as Argentinian Spanish is actually "Rioplatense dialect" and it's shared with Uruguay. It's the same accent in southern and central/east (central west has different dialects) Argentina.

Love argentina from Brazil 🇦🇷🤜🤛🇧🇷

Someone: Uploads a video about Argentina We, the argentinians: So, you have summoned us

You forgot to talk about the tradition of making a trip to Bariloche with all your classmates when you graduate highschool!

Oh yeah Argentina. Home of hot and grumpy people, who live surrounded by beautiful architecture, terrible economics and an outstanding culture. Greetings from Brazil 💚🇧🇷🇦🇷💙

En el cielo, las estrellas En el campo, las espinas Y en el medio de mi pecho... LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA

I am from the south of Brazil and the similarity between my state and Argentina is incredible, we are also called gauchos and here it is also possible to find the pampa biome, which is also the biome where I live

When they say they have a tree in their region, and are very proud of it...

As a Brazilian gaucho, there's no way I can't love Argentina! Very happy to see them here!

Greetings to Argentina🇦🇷 from India🇮🇳

Chubut: Home to both big whales and Little Wales

"Gladys La Bomba Tucumana" oh God! 🙈

I could hear the cordobeses scream when he placed images from cuartetos de cuerda while speaking about Cuarteto

We Brazilians love the Argentinos, despite the football rivalry. We love to tease each other, so much so that we used to say that the Pope Benedict was a really humble guy, because any other argentinian would have choose the name Jesus II.

11:29 I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THE PAMPITA TRANSLATION AND IT'LL BE LIL PAMPA I'M WHISTLING

As a Chilean, I've always been a sucker for Argentine culture, they have the best rock music and cinema in all of Latin America. A lot of people think that Chileans and Argentines hate each other, but I've always been very well treated when I go there and it's very nice to talk to them.

I feel like Argentina isn’t talked about enough. Huge country with interesting past, extremely varied geography and plenty of controversy. Shame in the UK they’re always presented as the bad guys and the enemy

Argentinians : we have so many festivals Indians : Hold our beer.

Lo que mas nos gusta a los argentinos... Que hablen de nosotros xD

Fun Fact: Mate is a very popular drink in Syria and Lebanon and the bothe countries have a large number of people live in Argentina even (Carlos Menem) was himself syrian and the first Lady of Argentina(Juliana Awada) is Lebanese half Syrian, hope to visit Argentina soon ❤

Your country episodes are like a first date, where we get the initial impression and get to know the land a bit. But the provinces' episodes are just so much more intimate. It's where you really see what that country is, it's aspects, it's beauty, and it's internal machinations. Please keep making more of them, it gives us a window into those countries like no other.

17:25 That's actually the Cabildo of Salta, not in Buenos Aires. It's well preserved like most of the colonial buildings in that province.

Thanks Patreons, I was looking for information about Argentinean provinces and regions last week. I've been to Cordoba, and loved the time I spent there, and I also want to visit a lot of places in other regions when these travel restrictions are over. Argentina is a fantastic country, often overlooked by people from other continents (very much like other countries in South America). Saludos de Brasil

I lived in Argentina for 6 months as an exchange student during 2018 in La Plata. Some things that I noticed while I was there: There is a huge culture of participating in protests or commemorations of previous human rights violations. Visiting the Plaza de Mayo should definitely be on anyone’s plans if they’re going to the city of Buenos Aires (CABA). Fernet was definitely something popular in La Plata and CABA as well which was always offered at every house party I went to. The use of trains in Argentina seemed similar to the US, close to CABA there are some good trains, but more rural areas less people use the trains and they’re not as nice. Most people would use buses or the subte (subway) in the city of Buenos Aires to get between cities. Living in La Plata meant you could find your way to any address without much use of google maps. Every street within the urban center is based on an organized number system with diagonals that also follow an ordered number system. After less than a month new students there easily found where to go just based on counting streets and giving addresses based on the closest intersection of streets (75 and 5, for example). Asado was a huge party food, but eating beef or pork was expensive (at the time), but you can buy raw chicken wings for very cheap since most people in Argentina don’t think it’s a very nice food (maybe it’s different in CABA, but in La Plata people also thought it was weird) and they (generally) don’t like spicy food. There’s a bunch of recent immigrants in Argentina from Senegal and China who aren’t treated the best by a lot of people, even though they are essential workers and speak very easily understandable Spanish. Chinese immigrants are stereotyped as supermarket owners and often more racially inappropriate things. There’s a huge issue in the northwest on the border with Bolivia. There’s similar indigenous groups on both sides of the border and often people cross the border as they are part of the same ethno-linguistic indigenous community. It struck me as a similar situation to how there are many ethnically Mexican and Central American people in the US who aren’t treated the best. I also can’t forget the whole reason the trip I went on existed: there was a huge persecution of political opponents during the last dictatorship, with many killed, abducted, and never seen again. You can visit many of the areas where the people were detained or killed and houses that were destroyed by the dictatorial government only a few decades ago (Casa Mariani Terruggi is a place in La Plata you should visit that has tours in English and Spanish). Many people who focus on preserving these injustices have adopted a similar mindset to those who work with the atrocities of the holocaust: we must never forget so that we cannot let it happen again. Also a list of foods I recommend you try when you’re in Argentina and you can get most of these in anywhere urban: choripan (Argentine chorizo with sauce), alfajores (two cookies with dulce de leche and often covered in chocolate), asado (pork or beef grilled, often in large pieces), mate (a tea drink that is great to share with friends and has some caffeine, an excellent drink while studying), milanesas (Breaded chicken or beef pan fried sometimes with a topping of red tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese), Argentine wine (don’t buy any foreign wine there, it’s far too expensive, always go for local, it’s cheap and delicious) and if you want pizza while you’re there there’s mostly a different style than what we see in the US or Italy. It’s got a crust that raises more and is taller, almost always comes with olive on it, and has a different set of topping options (we usually had cheese and various types of Argentine meats that I had never heard of before and never found in the US.) My recommendation is to avoid big supermarkets as much as possible and go to a separate bakery, separate fruit seller, separate butcher, etc. The prices will be much cheaper and they can help you find what you are looking for if you’re a confused foreigner who speaks some Spanish. Also be ready for everyone to ask to ask to speak your native language if you’re there (English French, Italian, German especially). Many Argentinians have ethnic origins that they remember from Europe and similarly identify with their cultural roots (mostly from Spain, Germany, Italy, France, etc.) even though they immigrated 4-5 generations ago, similar to many groups in the US.

In Wales many of are taught about Y Wladfa, so it’s cool to hear about it here too. Cariad o Gymru i’r Ariannin! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💕🇦🇷

La chica formoseña tiene alta fluidez hablando en Inglés, la amo

As a Uruguayan, I was expecting the joke about Uruguay being a province 😂

Is good to know better about our neighbours. Love from Uruguay 🇦🇷🇺🇾

Welsh man here, my Patagonian Welsh brothers and sisters ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Actually, officially the 7 regions according to the INDEC are: Patagonia Region pampeana Argentinian Northwest Argentinian Norteast Cuyo Gran Buenos Aires (Autonomous city + Metropolitan area) Also, the Antartic territory and both disputed areas are considered part of the Province of Tierra del Fuego.

9:40 xD the girl said: "chipas" The subtitles was: "cheap ass"

Interesting fact about Misiones: Argentina is home to the largest Swedish Comunity in South America and most of the (besides those in the capital) live here, in the Misiones Province. Swedes were drawn to the province Misiones at the beginning of the 20th century, at the prospect of growing yerba mate, used to make the herbal tea that is Argentina's national addiction. They moved from Brazil, where they had been lured by German-based recruitment offices. The new arrivals to Brazil soon discovered that the recruitment officers propaganda was nothing more than empty promises. Around 1913 word started going around that across the border, in the Argentinian territory of Misiones, the land was more fertile and the government was providing incentives for farmers to grow a profitable cash crop known as the green gold - yerba mate. Two contingents of emigrants made the voyage south. In 1890-91, most of the 2 000 were workers and families from the crisis-ridden industries in Stockholm and Sundsvall. In 1909-11, most of the 700 were miners from the far north who left after the failure of a nationwide strike. The first Swedes to cross the border to Argentina found not only Brazilian, Paraguayan and German colonists, but also a group of Finnish intellectuals who had fled their country in 1906 for political reasons. After the town of Oberá was officially founded in 1928, the Swedes soon became a minority, but as they had come first there are today neighbourhoods that carry the names of those pioneering farmers - Villa Kindgren, Villa Fredriksson, Villa Erasmie. In 1914 ten men cleared a 20-kilometre path (picada) through the jungle between the first Swedish settlement, Villa Svea (which still exists) and a German colony. The road is still known as the Picada Sueca. Around 500 Swedes were estimated to have settled in the area by the 1920s and they organized a school, an ethnic-based association and a congregation. Thank’s Wikipedia for all that knowledge!

An argentina joke: an Argentinian guy goes to Italy and says "che, what a lot of Argentinian surnames"

The Argentines are one of the most attractive people in the world.

When you're argentinian: Hm yes I N T E R E S T I N G.

I almost died when they talked about cuarteto and showed a quartet of strings. Great video anyways :D

Last time I was this early people thought Argentina was rich in silver.

se siente raro ver algo de mi país orientado para extranjeros JAJAJAJ pero es genial que haya tanta gente interesada en conocer mejor el mapa.

22:25 The way Martin looks is hilarious, this really cached him off guard

LMAO "Cuarteto" and they put a picture of a string quartet.

"I mean the beaches are..." *looks to the distance,* *can't finish the sentence* Yeah if you want cool beaches go to Brazil or something lul Cordoba has nice rivers to swim in tho

Love Argentina from Brazil. We are Latino brothers 🇧🇷🇦🇷

Uruguayan here. Every time an Argentinian says something along the lines of "Uruguay is an Argentinian province" I simply answer: "Yes, but we're also the most beautiful one".

In Germany we use the word "pampa" to refer to any remote places or areas as a colloquial saying...Dont know why but maybe some guy came mitten aus der Pampa and brought it here xD

As a Spaniard, it was surprising to see how similar Argentinians are to us!! Love from Madrid!

Love Argentine from india 🇮🇳..we love messi

Viva Malvinas! Love from the UK!

I'm a huge fan of Argentina national football team... LOVE MESSI AND ARGENTINA... FROM BANGLADESH 🇧🇩❤️🇦🇷
