Inti Huasi Cave
Following the provincial route #39, after Pampa del Tamboreo we arrive at the Inti Huasi Cave. Its name stems from a Quechua voice that means "house of the sun" and is located in the hill of 1710 meters above the sea level that carries its same name. 8,000 years ago, this cavern was inhabited by nomad native groups that moved seasonally from the high saws to the valleys to obtain their food. The important finds of bony pieces and arrows tips in this cavern made possible an approximation to the Ayampitin culture, descendant of the first settler current of our continent.

Goya fue reconocida como posta del camino a Buenos Aires en 1774. Su desarrollo no fue planificado sino espontáneo gracias al tráfico fluvial por el río Paraná. Se cree que su nombre proviene de los antiguos propietarios de una pulpería conocida como Puerto de Goya que abastecía a los pobladores que se iban asentando y a los que circulaban por el río Paraná. La pulpería estaba ubicada a orillas del riacho hoy conocido como Goya y en las proximidades de la reducción evangelizadora Santa Lucía.
El río era la salida que tenía Paraguay para comerciar con España y el puerto de Buenos Aires. En 1806 se construyó la capilla y se la dedicó a Nuestra Señora del Rosario, cuya imagen fue traída al lugar por Doña Goya, propietaria de la pulpería.
Goya fue declarada villa en 1825 ya que tenía una intensa actividad como puerto de embarque y llegada de carretas. El 7 de octubre de 1852, Goya se la elevó al rango de ciudad. Las plantaciones tabacaleras, las fábricas de cigarros y cigarrillos y la pesca son los principales motores de la economía actual de Goya.
