pampas

Beneath the balcony was an arcade where many seats were disposed among palms and pampas grass.

Now, with the increase of the area of cultivation, the land in the Pampas which is available for grazing is greatly curtailed.

The tall pampas-grass, with its long feathery plumes, gives a profitable crop.

They descend from the Andes, traverse the Pampas from east to west, and empty themselves into the saline lakes.

As a rough guess, beyond those tremendous highlands lay the plains of Lower Argentina—the black, wind-swept, semidesert pampas.
