The Southern Cone

The Southern Cone refers to the region in South America that includes countries like Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and parts of southern Brazil. It is characterized by a shared geographic feature — mostly flat plains and mountains — and cultural similarities, such as European influence and a focus on agriculture and livestock. The region has a temperate climate, making it suitable for farming. Historically, these countries have collaborated economically and politically, forming a significant part of South America's development and identity, while also maintaining distinct local cultures.
