Argentina is the second largest country in South America and the 8th largest in the world. It is a land of extremes: its hectic urban centers contrast with a staggeringly remote and beautiful hinterland. The culture is as varied as the country's geography. Though primarily Latin American, the culture reflects its European roots, as well as Amerindian influence particularly in the area of music and art. The one common thread is that the people possess a curiosity, passion and fervour for life.
The country historically had a large middle class, compared to other Latin American countries, but a succession of economic crises has significantly reduced its numbers. Today, the segment of the population that remains financially well-off stands in sharp contrast with millions who live in poverty or on the brink of it.
