Map of Pampas

Pampas, also Pampa, vast treeless plains of central Argentina, which rise almost imperceptibly from the Atlantic coast to the Andes. The eastern portion, known as the humid Pampa, is one of the most fertile regions in the country. From the humid Pampa to the Andes is the dry Pampa, a less populated region supporting cattle, horses, and sheep. The name pampas is sometimes given to level districts of Peru. The term is derived from a Quechua Native American phrase meaning “flat surface or plain”.
