| On the banks of the Parana River,
from Corrientes city, numerous roads lead to the most varied landscapes,
places of historical interest and natural sceneries of extraordinary
beauty. Corrientes is famous for its Carnival celebrations with
music, disguises, dances and parades. The province stands out due to its
important water resources consisting of an extensive system of marshes,
lagoons and a large river network, whose waters come from the abundant
rains of the region. |

| There
are 31 marshes in the province which cover a surface of 14,900 km2 and
that even reaches 20,000 km2 in the period of abundant rains (March, April
and September). This area offers an unforgettable landscape for
adventure tourism since photographic safaris, fauna watching,
horse-riding, canoe tours and trekking tours are offered. The variety of
trees is infinite but the main characteristic of this region is the
aquatic vegetation. A wide variety of endangered species (capybara,
yacares and aguara guazu among others) live together with innumerable fish
and bird species. |
