Cipolletti, Agricultural center in Río Negro Province, Argentina.
The city extends along the northeastern shore of the Neuquén River, forming part of the Greater Neuquén metropolitan area with 416,000 residents.
Founded in 1903, the settlement originated as Fort Confluencia in 1881 before being named after César Cipolletti, an irrigation system engineer.
Local festivals throughout the year present traditional Argentine music and dance performances, reflecting the regional Patagonian identity.
The city connects to neighboring regions through National Road 22 and regular bus services, with Neuquén Airport located 15 kilometers away.
The convergence of three rivers - Neuquén, Limay, and Negro - creates an irrigation system that supports extensive apple and pear orchards.
