La Pampa, Province in central Argentina.
This province lies across the central plains of Argentina, bordered by San Luis, Córdoba, Buenos Aires, Río Negro, Neuquén, and Mendoza. The landscape consists of low grasslands, seasonal wetlands, and occasional river valleys, with farmland and cattle ranches occupying much of the terrain.
The area became an official province only in 1951, after existing for centuries as frontier territory between indigenous lands and colonial influence. Its incorporation came during a national reorganization under the government of Juan Perón.
The province maintains strong gaucho traditions through horsemanship demonstrations, rural festivals, and traditional agricultural practices that shape the local identity.
Santa Rosa serves as the administrative center and provides access to different regions through a network of overland roads. Travelers will find information points, lodging, and connections to the rural areas and nature reserves throughout the province.
The Salinas del Bebedero form one of the largest salt flats in the country and lie in a remote depression in the west. The white crust attracts pumas, maras, and migratory birds that find food and shelter in this sparse environment.
