| San Luis Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (645 words) |
 | San Luis is a province of Argentina located near the geographical center of the country (on the 32º South parallel). |
 | Even though the weather of the province is temperate-arid, there are numerous areas with milder microclimates, such as Villa de Merlo, where the land is fertile and the air less dry as the eastern slope retains the humidity of the Atlantic Ocean. |
 | The main rivers of the provinces are the Comlara and Quinto, and the border rivers of Desaguadero River and Salado River. |
