Along the west of Argentina are the Andes Mountains, reaching nearly 6900 meters at the Nevado Ojos del Salado. These are wide in the northwest, and include intermontaine plateaus like the Puna (Highland) of Atacama, and isolated ranges like the Córdoba Mountains. East of the mountains are treeless, grassy plains, sloping to the east.
The largest lake is salty Laguna (Lake) Mar (Sea) Chiquita.
Tributaries of the Paraná drain the area (except for the high plateaus). The Laguna Mar Chiquita has its own system.
About 9 million people live here.
The only city with more than a million residents is Córdoba.
Before the Spanish arrived, everyone spoke languages that a few people group as Amerindian. In this area, Quechua and Aymara were used; the former was introduced by the Incan Empire, and the latter may also have spread with it. Another language group was the Mataco-Guaicuru.
Some clues to the pre-Christian religion come from the former burial practices of the Diaguitas: alpacas or llamas were killed and buried with deceased men.
