3. • 'Idaho, land of potatoes'. This could be a
summary of Idaho, but actually there's more:
Besides being the national champion in the
production of the famous legumes, Idaho is
also one of America's leaders in planting
wheat in the production of electronic
items, computer, processed foods and
chemicals. Still, tourists arriving to spacious
lands Idaho perceive almost nothing about it.
4. Idaho is one of 50 states in
the United States, located in
the region of the Rocky
Mountain states. Is limited to
the north by the Canadian
province of British
Columbia, south to Nevada
and Utah, east to Montana
and Wyoming, and west to
Washington and Oregon.
Idaho currently has the sixth
highest rate of population
growth among U.S.
States, only behind
Nevada, Arizona, Florida, Geor
gia, and Utah. With a little
over 216,000 km quadrates, is
the 14th largest U.S. state in
area of the country.
5. The Territory of
Idaho was
formed in
1863, and
elevated to the
State in July
3, 1890, becomi
ng the 43rd U.S.
state to enter
the Union
Republican party
rules the state
since 1995.
12. Next picture the
street giving access
to downtown Twin
Falls, south of the
city state. It is
interesting to note
that in almost all
American
cities, even the
interior, we find
the same chain
stores, restaurants,
hotels and so on.
13. • One of the most beautiful places in the state is
located in Stanley Redfish Lake, in the center of
the state. This lake situated next to a pine forest
at the base of the mountains is one of the busiest
points of Idaho for lovers of fishing, diving and
sailing. It should be remembered, however, that
this is not a place where water sports can be
practiced throughout the year, as the winter here
is extremely cold, with temperatures that can
reach 20 degrees below zero Fahrenheit during
January and February.

15. The building shown is
the State Capitol, seat
of the chamber. Built
in 1905, it is the
dominant construction
of the city and its
residents have pride
that is the only Capitol
(virtually the entire
capital of the U.S.
state has a building in
this style) which
provides natural
heating, thanks to the
hot springs of the
place.
