When thinking about Nueva Palmira, the expression “dead calm” (used to refer to the river when it is completely still) turns out to be the best way to evoke the atmosphere of this dreamed-of city.
Due to its strategic location, this is one of the most coveted ports in the world. A few meters away, three large rivers converge and look onto the world to export national products.
Only 4 kilometers from Nueva Palmira, there lies Punta Gorda. It is the geographical milestone where the Paraná River and the Uruguay River meet to give birth to the famous Río de la Plata.
Martín García Island is a magical island. Under Argentinian jurisdiction at present, but lying only 3.5 kilometers away from the Uruguayan shores, its nature and history make this place totally worth a visit.
