the capital of the Province of Entre Ríos. It is located 520km

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.

Thays, that spreads over 25 hectares alongside the sloping
river banks.
