South America has been a special part of my life for four decades. I have lived many years in Brasil and Peru. I am married to an incredible lady from Argentina. I want to share South America with you.

Why is Argentina so white? I went to cities like Rosario, Bariloche, and Posadas and saw almost just white people. What happened?
I’m from Córdoba, Argentina. Basically what happened is that there wasn’t a huge native civilization in Argentina like the Incas or the Aztecs, and the natives that were in Argentina some even were white: Spanish conquistadors said they resembled Spaniards from the south of Spain or even vikings, they had beards, etc. On top of that Argentina always wanted to be the best, civilized country in the world, so they made policies to encourage massive European immigration to Argentina, and it worked: millions of white Europeans from Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, Poland, Britain, Ireland, etc., migrated to Argentina so the obvious result was a pretty white country.
