    This might be helpful:-

    The Andine is the mountainous western region of Argentina. It consists of two subregions: (1) the Andes Mountains and (2) the Piedmont.

    The Andes Mountains separate Argentina from Chile. Their highest peaks include the tallest mountain in the Western Hemisphere, Aconcagua. It towers 22,831 feet (6,959 meters) above sea level just inside the Argentine border. A small Indian population raises sheep in an area of broad plateaus called the Puna in the northern part of the Argentine Andes. In the south, snow-capped peaks and mirrorlike lakes attract crowds of vacationers who come to ski and hike.

    The Piedmont is a region of low mountains and desert valleys east of the Andes. Mountain streams provide water for irrigation and make the Piedmont a productive farming area. Farmers grow sugar cane and corn near Tucuman and alfalfa and cotton near Cordoba. Vineyards near Mendoza and San Juan produce grapes for most Argentine wines. The cities of the Piedmont are the oldest Spanish settlements in Argentina.
