San Isidro
South America is the fourth largest continent of the Western Hemisphere. It is divided politically into 12 independent countries namely Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela and the overseas department of French Guiana. The continent extends to 7,640 kilometers from Punta Gallinas, Colombia, in the north to Cape Horn, Chile, in the south. At its broadest point, near where it is crossed by the equator, the continent extends to 5,300 kilometers from east to west.
South America is connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama. It is washed on the north by the Caribbean Sea, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. Topographically the continent is divided into three sections namely the South American cordillera, the interior lowlands, and the continental shield. Roman Catholicism is the dominant religion and Portuguese and Spanish are the primary languages of the continent.
San Isidro, Buenos Aires is a suburb of Buenos Aires, one of the wealthiest regions of Argentina. It is situated in San Isidro Partido in Greater Buenos Aires. The centre of the city is a historic area with cobbled streets and old single-storey houses. At its heart is Plaza Mitre, with the neo-gothic San Isidro Cathedral of 1898 rising beyond. The city is served by the Tren de la Costa. The station is surrounded by a smart shopping centre. Also the San Isidro Hippodrome is one of Argentina's most significant racecourses and covers a large part of the area inland from the city. Built in striking 1930s architectural style, the racecourse has faced tough times since the economic crises of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
A city known for its historic myths and traditions, scenic beauty, luxurious hotels and cottages, San Isidro is one of the favorite holiday destinations for most of the vacation lovers.
