Down the River Paraná
05th August 2010
After crossing back into Argentina from Paraguay, we followed the Paraguay River south until it joined the second longest river in South America, the Paraná, near Resistencia (a big country town with big wide streets). Corrientes, across the river, has a bit more to offer in colonial buildings.
.
Continuing south we made stops in Santa Fe and Rosario. Santa Fe was originally founded in 1573 but was moved to the present site in 1653 due to constant flooding. In Rosario we finally got to taste the delicious river fish.

This just about sums up Resistencia
