Aguilares
South America is thefourth 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.
Aguilares is a city in the south of the Tucuman Province, Argentina. It is largest urban area in the Rio Chico Department as well as the department seat. Located 85 kilometers south of the provincial capital, San Miguel de Tucuman, the city extends along route 38, and between the Medinas River in the north and the Barrientos Creek in the south, including some other areas beyond these limits, though. Two important sugar mills and a large footwear factory along with a very dynamic agricultural activity in its surrounding area, account for the city’s economic cornerstones.
Aguilares is also known as the town of best geographical environment and has traced its origins back to prehistoric times. Today, one can also learn about its history, from its earliest times and can also enjoy its natural beauty concealed by the beautiful landscapes.
