The rugged Andes Mountains are home to a preserved colonial city, archaeological sites, wildlife refuges, subtropical forests, and desert canyons. Readers will revel in the excitement of soccer, the romance of tango, the glory of folklore, and the mystery of ancient cultures. They will also learn about the generations of dictatorial rule, revolving-door governments, corruption, tax evasion, and misguided financial policies that have created political and economic problems that Argentines have been unable to shake. |
