Southern Cone
South America's tapered end
The Southern Cone is the tapering southern portion of South America, comprising Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and usually Paraguay and southern Brazil.
The name comes from the continent's shape narrowing toward its southern tip.
Trade agreements among Southern Cone nations have increased regional integration.
