A journey encompassing around 5 months during the late winter, entire spring, and early summer throughout all 18 of the ecoregions, of our Earth's 8th largest land area country (2nd largest in South America) which measures around 2,400 mi. (3,860 km) long and 870 mi. (1,400 km) wide at maximum measurements, with around 3,100 mi. (5,000 km) of coastline. A country of geologic extremes from the highest mountain peak to the lowest terrestrial elevation in the Southern Hemisphere. Argentina is derived from the Latin word "argentum", meaning silver. The national parks of Argentina are overseen by Administración de Parques Nacionales (APN), and is an integral part of Argentina’s National System of Federal Protected Areas (SiFAP).
