ARGENTINA ~ South America Map ~

...Fantastic South America map card coming from Argentina...from the 12 countries I'm only missing Colombia and Paraguay and these dependant territories, Falkand Islands (UK), French Guiana (France) South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands (UK)...maybe someone can help???(>‿♥)Thanks a lot Rubén!!

Nestled between the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and the South Atlantic Oceans, South America is the wilder of the Americas.

The world's biggest rainforest and the largest river (Amazon), the highest mountain range outside Asia (the Andes), remote islands (Galapagos Islands, Easter Island and Fernando de Noronha), heavenly beaches (such as in Brazil's Northeastern region), wide deserts (Atacama), icy landscapes (Patagonia & Tierra del Fuego), the world's tallest waterfall (the 979m Angel Falls, in Venezuela) and one of the largest (Iguaçu Falls, Argentina and Brazil), as well as several other breathtaking natural attractions.

 There are 12 independent countries and 3 dependent territories. The largest country by area and the most populated is Brazil, it occupies about the 50% of the total mainland area and more than 52% of the population live on its territory. The smallest independent state is Suriname, it is the only nation in this region, speaking Dutch as an official language.



With nice stamps!

  1. Nice card! I always wonder how cards like the Falklands should be sent. Should it have a picture of the Falklands on the front but a UK postmark, or does the picture and the postmark have to be from the Falklands?

    1. Helllo! Thanks for dropping by...I would prefer a postcard of the Falklands (if possible their beautiful nature) with stamp and postmark from the island itself! :-)
