The Southern Cone (Spanish: Cono Sur, Portuguese: Cone Sul) is a geographical and cultural subregion composed of the southernmost areas of South America, mostly south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Traditionally, it covers Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. In terms of social, economic and political geography, the Southern Cone comprises Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, and sometimes includes Brazil's four southernmost states (Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo). In its broadest definition, taking into account common history and geography, it also includes Paraguay, another Spanish-speaking country.
Se denomina Cono Sur al área más austral del continente americano que, como una gran península, define el sur del subcontinente de América del Sur.
De Zuidkegel (Spaans: Cono Sur; Portugees Cone Sul) is de benaming voor het zuidelijke gedeelte van Zuid-Amerika. De benaming is gebruikelijk in de Spaans- en Engelstalige wereld, maar wordt in het Nederlands minder vaak gebruikt. Het gebied wordt ook wel simpelweg Zuidelijk Zuid-Amerika genoemd.
