Esquina lies at the confluence of the Río Corriente and the Río Paraná; rivers, lagoons, wetlands and expansive river landscapes define the area. Fishing and boating activities, rural walks and local festival traditions offer different ways to plan a trip. If you are looking for a hotel in Esquina, it helps to decide first whether you want to focus your stay more on the rivers, the culture or the landscape.

Fishing and Activities on the Rivers

Sport fishing and freshwater fishing trips are offered in Esquina. Possible catches include dorado, pacú, surubí and boga, among others. The Río Corriente and the Río Paraná are also presented as destinations for boating activities. Fishing and boating are therefore two distinct ways to enjoy the water: the trips focus on possible catches, while the boating activities take place on the two rivers. If you are planning your trip mainly around fishing, this gives you a specific reason to visit; the rivers also offer another starting point for planning.

Landscape and Walks

Rural tourism in Esquina includes interpretive walks through rural landscapes and wetlands. These offer a different way to experience the area than activities on the water. The Costanera de Esquina also offers its own connection to the landscape, with natural views and recreational spaces. When planning, it is worth distinguishing between these options, rather than treating walks, river activities and the Costanera as a single experience.

Festivals and Cultural Traditions

Esquina’s carnival comparsas have a tradition spanning more than five decades. The comparsa Yasí Berá was founded in 1969 at the Esquina Football Club. Another annual event is the Fiesta Nacional del Pacú, which draws anglers and tourists to Esquina. These three references represent different aspects of cultural life: a long-standing carnival tradition, the history of a particular comparsa and a festival that attracts visitors year after year.

The time of year can also offer a starting point for planning your trip. The Fiesta de la Cara Sucia takes place in Esquina in January; in May, the feast day of the city’s patron saint, Santa Rita de Casia, is celebrated.

A Recipe with Local Roots

The Torta de la Carasucia is also part of the area’s local identity. The recipe is made with brown sugar and passed down from generation to generation. It is a cultural reference alongside the festivals and carnival tradition, connecting Esquina with a traditional local dish. If you are interested in the cultural side of the destination, you can include this culinary connection among your travel interests.
