As we move southwards from the Amazon rain forests, we pass the diverse Brazilian Highlands, and run into the vast grasslands called Pampas, which stretch towards Patagonia in the southernmost part of the South American continent, which ends by "Tierra del Fuego" at the tip of the mainland. </div> <div class="othermaps"> <h3>Other maps of South America</h3> <p></p> <div class="block"> <div class="imgcontainer"><figure style='text-align:center;'><a href='political.html'><img loading="lazy" class='othermap230' src='southamerica-political-300.jpg' alt='South America political map' title='South America political map'></a><figcaption>South America political map</figcaption></figure></div><div class="imgcontainer"><figure style='text-align:center;'><a href='southamerica-blank-physical-hd.jpg' target='_blank'><img loading="lazy" class='othermap230' src='southamerica-blank-physical.jpg' alt='South America blank physical map' title='South America blank physical map'></a><figcaption>South America blank physical map showing the relief of South America</figcaption></figure></div><div class="imgcontainer"><figure style='text-align:center;'><a href='southamerica-rivers-hd.jpg' target='_blank'><img loading="lazy" class='othermap230' src='southamerica-rivers.jpg' alt='South America major rivers' title='South America major rivers'></a><figcaption>South America blank map with the major rivers of South America</figcaption></figure></div><div class="imgcontainer"><figure style='text-align:center;'><a href='southamerica-blackandwhite-hd.jpg' target='_blank'><img loading="lazy" class='othermap230' src='southamerica-blackandwhite.jpg' alt='South America black&white physical map' title='South America black&white physical map'></a><figcaption>South America black and white physical map</figcaption></figure></div> </div> <div style="width:100%; text-align:center; margin-top:20px;"><h3>Customized South America maps</h3>Could not find what you're looking for?
