The great river, their view of islands and ravines along with soft waves turn Paraná into a remarkable tourist destination in Argentina. The city, having a little less than 300,000 inhabitants is the capital of the province of Entre Ríos.
It was built in 1927, along with the coastal avenue and Quirós Park, for travellers to have an appropriate waiting room, since Colón's port had had a very significant traffic. Its construction was precisely demanded by doctor Herminio Quirós.
It was created in 1992 in order to preserve the environment of the higher River Paraná's Delta. Its surface amounts to 2 458 hectares (6 074 acres) and is located in the southeast of Entre Ríos, about 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) south of Diamante city.
45 kilometres (28 miles) away from Colón by national route 14, it is one of the latest national parks in Argentina since it was created by law on January 28, 1966. From its front access a main way crosses the entire park in direction to the River Uruguay. This route has deflections leading to lovely viewpoints.
