The Buenos Aires province (IPA: /ˈbwenos ˈaiɾes/, Spanish: Provincia de Buenos Aires) is the largest, wealthiest and most populated province of Argentina. Even though the Buenos Aires city is inside its territory, it is an autonomous city and not part of the province. The province has a population of 13,827,203 (2001) and its capital is La Plata (850.000 inhabitants), 50 km south of Buenos Aires city.
The Buenos Aires province has an area of 307,571 km² and its neighbouring provinces clockwise from the southwest are Rio Negro, La Pampa, Córdoba, Santa Fe and Entre Rios. To the east is the Atlantic Ocean.
The landscape is mainly flat, with two low mountain ranges; Sierra de la Ventana (near Bahía Blanca) and Sierra de Tandil (Tandil). The highest point is Cerro Tres Picos (1.239 m amsl) and the longest river is Río Slado (700 km).
As part of The Pampas the weather of the province is strongly influenced by the ocean, with hot summers and temperate winters. Humidity is high and precipitations are abundant and distributed over the year. The Western and Southwestern regions are dryer.
