The Pampas are mentioned by Borges in El Sur -abe.

Pampas in Peru

In Peru (in Spanish) Pampa is this flat desert lowland by the coast. I don't know if they call it something similar in the highlands of Peru, I live on the coast. I assume that this is something completely different than what the article is talking about? Editfromwithout (talk) 21:30, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Pampa is simply quechua for “plain” (not necessarily a grassy plain, could be a dry plain between mountains). “The Pampas”, however, are the wide plains extending between the Gran Chaco and Buenos Aires/Uruguay. --Gabriela Ruellan (talk) 00:04, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage

I'm not sure Pampa refers to such an area is the article states right now:

"are the fertile lowlands mostly of Brazil that extend across c. 900,000 km² between latitudes 28°-39°S and longitudes 50°-65°W. This area encompasses the southernmost part of Brazil, the whole of Uruguay and the central-eastern part of Argentina."

According to the Britannica:

"Pampas, the: vast plain extending westward across central Argentina from the Atlantic coast to the Andean foothills, bounded by the Gran Chaco (north) and Patagonia (south)."

I have to agree with Britannica's definition, but I'm not sure which one is correct.

Britannica's definition is lacking information and it's wrong, the Pampas is extended through the south of the State of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, all of Uruguay's territory, and the eastern portion of central Argentina. It doesn't include the Espinal ecoregion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hesteriana (talk • contribs) 05:12, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Map

How about a map showing the approximate extent of this region? 69.234.160.143 00:22, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Description: trees

Somebody wrote: Frequent fires ensure that only small plants such as grasses flourish and trees are exceptional. Exceptional? Shouldn't it say rare or not infrequent or some such? Alexf(t/c) 12:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plural

I think this is one of those cases where the plural is a better place for the article, per MoS. Rich Farmbrough, 19:10, 23 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]
