Yahapé, Rural settlement in Berón de Astrada Department, Argentina

Yahapé is a locality in Berón de Astrada Department, Corrientes Province, on the left bank of the Paraná River, about 36 km from San Antonio de Itatí, on which it depends administratively, and 130 km from Corrientes city. It has a primary school, a secondary school and two health centres, and 462 inhabitants (2022 census).

The settlement emerged during the agricultural expansion of Corrientes Province as part of San Antonio de Itatí's jurisdiction. Its growth is connected to early settlement patterns and the development of farming activities in the region.

The name Yahapé is a Castilianization of the Guaraní word Jahape, a type of grass. Fishing drives the locality's life: dorado, surubí, manguruyú, pacú, boga and chafalote are the species anglers come for, and hotels and a camping area serve them.

Reaching the settlement involves traveling through local roads connected to the main transport network of the department. The area is sparsely populated, so expect longer travel times and occasional bus services rather than frequent ones.

Yahapé's name comes from the Guaraní word Jahape, a type of grass; the village lies on the left bank of the Paraná River, 4 km north of the access road from National Route 12 and 130 km from Corrientes city.
