Santa Fe Province

The territory extends across extensive lowland plains bordered by the Paraná River, containing numerous agricultural fields, marshes, and subtropical dry forests in the northwest.

The province gained autonomy in 1816 after Sebastian Cabot established the first European settlement, Sancti Spiritus fort, in 1527, which was destroyed two years later.

Manufacturing facilities, agricultural cooperatives, and educational institutions like the National University of the Littoral shape the industrial and academic landscape of Santa Fe Province.

Four river ports in Villa Constitución, Rosario, San Lorenzo, and Santa Fe enable ocean vessels to transport goods, supporting the region's agricultural exports.

The province contains a 2,393-meter road tunnel connecting Santa Fe city to Paraná city in Entre Ríos, facilitating transportation across the regional waterways.
