This beautiful city lies on the banks of the river with the same name, at the center-west of Entre Ríos Province, of which it is the Capital City. It can be reached by land or plane. Paraná means ¨father of the waters¨ in Guarani language. The great parks and the beaches alternated among ravines and viewpoints make of the river the main protagonist. One of the activities that the tourist should not miss is the visit to the German colonies of the Volga.
Doubtlessly, the most extensive green space is the Urquiza Park. It lies along the river bank with riverside paths of different heights. Stone steps allow the access to the waters and the path goes into zones of extensive vegetation.
Other green spaces of recreation are Toma Vieja, Gazzano Park and New Park. In the latter, the flagpole of the Flag stands with a height of 55 mts. Numerous architectonic jewels dazzle in this city: the Metropolitan Cathedral that dates from 1882, the Normal School Jose Maria Torres, the first normal school of the country, the Municipal Palace and the Post and Telecommunications Building, that were residence of Justo José de Urquiza.
The most developed activities in this city are the nautical ones such as windsurf, water skiing, wakeboard, swimming, sailing and sport fishing. In Parana waters, the competition sport takes speed in the contests of the Power Boat Formula.
In addition, a few kilometers from the city, excursions in 4 x 4, rides, mountain bike, hiking, fishing, yatch-races and agro-tourism can be done. |

La ciudad de Paraná no se fundó en un acto como oficialmente se hacía en la época colonial. En el siglo XVI los habitantes de Santa Fe comenzaron a establecerse del otro lado del río porque consideraban que allí había mejores condiciones de vida y seguridad frente a los ataques gracias a las barrancas.
Por iniciativa del Gobernador de Buenos Aires, Don Bruno Mauricio de Zabala, se decidió dotar al poblado de una iglesia. El cabildo Eclesiástico erigió la “Parroquia del pago de la otra Banda del Paraná”, bajo la advocación de la Virgen del Rosario; esa resolución es del 23 Octubre de 1730 y se acepta esa fecha como inicio formal de las actividades de la ciudad.
El 25 de Junio de 1813, alcanzó la categoría de Villa al ser declarada “Villa de Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Paraná”, por la Asamblea General Constituyente.
El Congreso Constituyente reunido en Paraná en Diciembre de 1821, aprobó el 13 de Marzo de 1822 el estatuto constitucional de Entre Ríos; en una de sus disposiciones designa a la “Villa” del Paraná”, capital de la provincia.
