Tucumán Province, Administrative province in northwestern Argentina
Tucumán is an administrative unit in northwestern Argentina, situated between Salta and Santiago del Estero. The province covers fertile valleys, mountain ranges and seventeen administrative districts.
The Congress of Tucumán declared independence from Spain in 1816, shaping the formation of the Argentine Republic. This event made the region a key location in South American history.
The Saturday fair in Simoca showcases regional dishes, handcraft and produce from the area. Many residents come here to buy local specialties and talk with producers.
Four universities here offer a wide range of study programs across different fields. The Teniente General Benjamín Matienzo airport connects the area with several Argentine cities.
The Sierra del Aconquija creates different climate zones within the province through its varying elevations. At Cerro del Bolsón, the mountain range reaches 5550 meters (18209 feet).
