Gobernador Gregores
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.
Gobernador Gregores is 85 kilometers from Lago Cardiel. You can access to the city by national route 40 and provincial route 25. This lake concentrates the richest population of Salmonidae. The desert in the province of Santa Cruz is counterparted by the solidary action of the INTA, National Institute for Agricultural Technology, by means of a program for productive diversification with activities of lower environmental cost than ovine monoculture. The objective is clear to find an income-producing alternative which protects the environment. Gobernador Gregores is a pilot area for this proposal. With an incredible landscape on the backstage, many rural producers bet to rural tourism as one of the possible solutions, and today more than 30 estancias in the province are open to this touristic activity.
It can also be considered as the preeminent, historical and potential tourism destination that enjoys a very positive reputation with worldwide travelers to become one of the most visited places.
