Necochea
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.
Necochea is a port city in the southwest of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, located on the Atlantic coast, about 500 kilometers from Buenos Aires City and some 120 kilometers south west from Mar del Plata. It has about 89,000 inhabitants as per the 2001 census. Provincially it makes up the majority of Necochea Partido, a administrative state of Buenos Aires Province.
Necochea is also said to be as one of the best geographical environment and can trace its origins back to prehistoric times. This is evident from the archaeological sites found throughout the Necochea town. Today, one can also learn about its history, from its earliest times and pursue enthusiasm in its natural beauty and populace.
