Malargue
South America is a continent situated in the western hemisphere and, mostly, the southern hemisphere, bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean, North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest. Argentina is a country in southern South America. It ranks second in land area in South America, and eighth in the world.
Malargue is a city in the southwest part of province of Mendoza, one of the 23 provinces of Argentina, located in the western central part of the country in the Cuyo region, Argentina, about 370 kilometers south of the provincial capital Mendoza. It is the head town of the Malargue Department, and it has about 23,000 inhabitants as per the 2001 census.
In the past, the local industries included oil exploration and production and uranium mining. In addition there are hotels and cabins available for visitors interested in eco-tourism in the summer and skiing in the winter at the nearby resorts of Las Lenas and Los Molles. Malargue is also home to the southern site of the Pierre Auger Observatory, an international physics experiment searching for ultra-high energy cosmic rays.
The dense Amazon rainforest, the jagged spires of the Andes Mountains, the Tropical beaches and the Towering waterfalls, with this kind of nature all around, it's no wonder why South America have become nearly synonymous with Adventure travel and ecotourism.
