I would like to tell you about the three already mentioned provinces and their capital cities. You will also read about our ancestors, origines and culture. 

San Miguel de Tucumán is a city kinown as the capital of the argentine northwest because it is an important centre of services in the region. In the PROVINCE OF TUCUMÁN, the administration of the crop and the industrialization of the sugar cane get great importance; being this product traditional for the economy of the región.
