Villa del Totoral
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.
Villa del Totoral is a city of the province of Cordova, Argentina, and is the head of the Department of Totoral. The mountain atmosphere, the old trees, the river, the old earth streets, large houses and their ample patios, produce a special atmosphere that inspires many inhabitants to give loose rein to the artistic creativity. Totoral has been cradle of writers, poets and painters and also it has been place of residence and inspiration of artists of world-wide recognition like Pablo Neruda and Rafael Alberti. In 2001, the population of the city was 7110 inhabitants.
The dense Amazon rainforest, the jagged spires of the Andes Mountains, the Tropical beaches, the Towering waterfalls, With this kind of nature all around, it's no wonder South America have become nearly synonymous with Adventure travel and ecotourism.
