Paraná

Information

It is the capital and most populated city of the province. It has a variety of services such as tourist information offices, shops, accommodation, restaurants, petrol stations and banks with ATMs.

It is located on the east bank of the Paraná River, where there is a waterfront to walk along and the Balneario Municipal (a municipal recreational area) with a public sandy beach. From there, there are several stairways leading up to Urquiza Park, which covers the gully area and has balconies with excellent views of the river. If you go about 3 km eastwards you will reach another part of the shore where you will find the Balneario Thompson (another recreational area), which is surrounded by parks.

Outside the city there is the Enrique Berduc Rural School Park and the General San Martín Park, highly recommended for those who want to be in contact with nature.
