Paraná
The city of Paraná lies on the banks of the River Paraná and is the capital of the Province of Entre Ríos. It is located 520km away from the Capital City. Upon leaving the Capital City one must travel down national route No. 9 up to Zarate, then cross the Zarate Brazo Largo Railroad Complex and take national route no. 12 up to Gualeguay where one must switch to provincial route No.11. Another option is to travel to the city of Santa Fe down national routes No. 9 and 11 and then cross the Hernandarias Underwater Tunnel. In addition to the city´s museums, one can also visit the Cathedral facing the Plaza 1° de Mayo (1st of May Square), built in Renaissance style, that harbors relics such as an image of Our Lady of the Rosary dating from 1730 and declared pontifical. It also houses bells brought from the Jesuitical missions. Another attraction is the Urquiza Park designed by Carlos Thays, that spreads over 25 hectares alongside the sloping river banks.
