Corrientes Province, Province in northeastern Argentina
Description
Corrientes Province is an administrative region in northeastern Argentina, lying between two major rivers and containing wide plains with wetlands, channels, and lakes. The terrain is shaped by subtropical marshland that spreads across much of the area and forms numerous interconnected water bodies.
History
A Spanish navigator reached the area in the early 16th century during an exploration along the river. These first contacts later led to the founding of settlements that grew into permanent communities.
Culture
The region takes its name from the strong river currents that early navigators encountered here. Guaraní is spoken alongside Spanish in daily life, and you can hear both languages in conversations at markets and in smaller towns.
Practical
The region is large, and many parts lie away from major roads, so expect longer journeys between places. Areas near water are often best reached with a local guide or boat.
Did you know?
A quarter of the entire area consists of the Iberá Wetlands, a network of waters that forms South America's second-largest wetland system after the Pantanal. A dam on the river generates electricity jointly with Paraguay, powering both countries.
