Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city of Argentina. The city is located on the western shore of the Río de la Plata. "Buenos Aires" can be translated as "fair winds" or "good airs". Buenos Aires is a multicultural city that is home to multiple ethnic and religious groups, contributing to its culture as well as to the dialect spoken in the city and in some other parts of the country. This is because since the 19th century, the city, and the country in general, has been a major recipient of millions of immigrants from all over the world, making it a melting pot where several ethnic groups live together. Thus, Buenos Aires is considered one of the most diverse cities of the Americas. The Greater Buenos Aires conurbation, which also includes several Buenos Aires Province districts, constitutes the fourth-most populous metropolitan area in the Americas, with a population of around 15.6 million. - scanned slides, Minolta X700

Finally after 7500 km from Salta we arrived in our final destination, in Ushuaia, the most southern town of the world - as Ushuaia calls itself. The paintings on the famous post office remind of the time, when Ushuaia was a penal settlement (1880). See PiP's for same graffities in 2015. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

Estancia Jose Menendez - Tierra del Fuego

Berny has posted:

In the beginning, Don Jose Menendez founded two big ranches, one on each side of Rio Grande. He called them The First and The Second Argentina, respectively. Currently, they are named after Jose Menendez (see images, founded 1896, 42560 ha) and his wife, Maria Behety. - In the 21st century, the Historical Truth Commission of 2008 and related scholarship uncovered the involvement of the Menéndez and Braun families in the genocide of the Selk'nam people. In total Menendez owned 430000 ha in Tierra del Fuego.

This is the last image of the "Argentina-2000" stream and album. It was a quite long row of photos for a long trip. Many thanks for joining and travelling with me, it was a pleasure ;-)) The impressive big building is not a church, but a thermal power plant, the "Central Térmica Puerto Nuevo", also called "La Catedral de la Electricidad". - scanned slide, Minolta X700
