Parana, meaning “Padre de las Aguas” (Father of Water), offers a special geography due to the river that forms ravines and coasts. As a result water sports such as windsurfing, water skiing, wake boarding, swimming, motorboat excursions and fishing are all on offer.

A tour of the city involves visiting Costanera Avenue, the Cathedral, the Town Hall, the Civic Center, the Spanish Society and the “3 de Febrero” Museum.

If you fancy a walk then visit the Urquiza Park which consists of 44 hectares of stunning natural beauty including waterfalls, springs and fountains as well as playgrounds, monuments and sculptures.
