Regions of Argentina.

The provinces of Argentina are often grouped into eight geographical regions.
From West to East and North to South, these are:
Regiones_geograficas_arg
   Argentine Northwest: Jujuy, Salta, Tucumán, Catamarca 
  Gran Chaco: Formosa, Chaco, Santiago del Estero 
  Mesopotamia (or Littoral): Misiones, Entre Ríos, Corrientes 
  Cuyo: San Juan, La Rioja, Mendoza, San Luis 
  Pampas: Córdoba, Santa Fe, La Pampa, Buenos Aires
  Patagonia: Rio Negro, Neuquén, Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego
Nevertheless, there are different approaches to the Argentine regions. The Pampas are often separated into Humid Pampa and Dry Pampas, and sometimes in Llanura Pampeana and Sierras Pampeanas. Other geographical analysis include other defined regions, being Comahue and Chaco Central among the most common.
Regardless of the regions system used, some provinces are shared by more than one region. For instance, Southwestern Santiago del Estero is sometimes considered part of the Sierras area, or even the Humid Pampa, while the Southern part of La Pampa is sometimes called Dry Pampa and included in Patagonia. Finally, La Rioja is sometimes considered part of Cuyo region instead of the Northwest.
Finally, the portion of the Antarctica claimed by Argentina is known as Argentine Antarctica, in which lay a number of Argentine bases.
