Isla del Cerrito
In the Argentine Litoral region, visit an island on which natural riches coexist with the traces of history.
Do you dare embark on a discovery adventure? There, where the waters of the Paraguay and the Paraná rivers converge, Isla del Cerrito is waiting for you. Disembark and discover its natural wonders: Forests and brushland, wild slopes and lush vegetation, shadow-filled recesses and sun-bathed beaches. Go on photo safaris, walk along trails surrounded by century-old trees, and look at the Virgen del Pilar chapel standing out on the hill slope.
Are you looking for the pleasure of adventure? Here horse rides and extreme sports, water tours and bike circuits await you. Do you like fishing? Get ready to meet the king of the Paraná: the dorado. Did you know that this island was a stage for the War of the Triple Alliance, at the end of the 19th century? Come to a museum that will take you back in time and connect you with history. Discover it all in the province of Chaco.
