Argentina and is the Capital of the province with the same name.

It offers a great amount of tourist, historic and religious attractions. Whether through the
Riverside Avenue next to “Rio Dulce” or getting to know the historical building, the city offers
fantastic recreations attractive. It´s because the days are full of sun, but the nights are also
full of attractions; there are a lot of pubs, international and regional food, the traditional

events, which give life to the nights of the city.
