Corrientes, Argentina
Discover the capital of folklore and nature
Corrientes is a dynamic city in the northeastern part of Argentina, distinguished by its strong cultural identity and exceptional natural surroundings. Recognized as the birthplace and global reference point of chamamé, a UNESCO-listed musical tradition, the city offers a unique cultural atmosphere shaped by music, history, and riverside life. Located on the banks of the Paraná river, Corrientes lies just across the river from Resistencia, the capital of Chaco Province, a major regional city founded by Italian immigrants and internationally known for its urban sculptures. Together, these neighboring cities form a single metropolitan area and serve as a principal gateway to the Iberá Wetlands (167 km), one of South America's most important biodiversity reserves and the reserve known as El Impenetrable (400 km) which has 128,000 hectares of carob, palo santo and quebracho forests, one hundred kilometers of living rivers, wetlands, lagoons and endangered animals.
