Diamante
Diamante is located 40 km away from Paraná and can be reached down
provincial route No. 11. This city was founded in 1836 and stands
at the head of the Paraná delta. This area witnessed a military
encounter between the forces of Urquizas and Rosas. Worthy of visiting
is the Pre-Delta National Park a true reservoir of local flora and
fauna that can be visited in small boats.
