La Paz lies on the Paraná River in the north of Entre Ríos Province and is part of the Corredor Turístico del Paraná. When planning your trip, you can choose from different focuses: the city’s history and art, thermal pools, outdoor activities, or events. First consider what is bringing you to La Paz, then plan accordingly.
Culture and Art in La Paz
The Museo Regional Alicia González Castrillón offers guided tours exploring the history of La Paz. The Centro de Artesanos La Paz, which offers products made by local artisans, is right next to the Museo Regional. This gives you a chance to explore two cultural sides of the city: its history and its traditional crafts.
The Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes y Casa de la Cultura houses more than 600 works of Argentine art. The building itself is also part of the history of this cultural offering: in 2018, it was declared architectural heritage of historical significance in Entre Ríos Province. While the collection puts Argentine art center stage, the designation recognizes the architectural value of the building.
Thermal Waters and River Views
The Complejo Termal de La Paz is located in the barrancas (river bluffs) of the Paraná River and offers panoramic views of the river. Its pools vary in size, depth, and temperature. This makes a visit to the hot springs a distinctive option alongside the city’s museums and art offerings.
The water also gives the Termas de La Paz their distinctive character: it is of marine origin and highly mineralized. Its minerals include sulfates, calcium, chlorides, magnesium, and strontium. If you are planning to visit the complex, check the latest information about its facilities in advance.
Nature and Events
Hiking and observing flora and fauna are activities associated with both Parque de la Aventura and Circuito de La Curtiembre. This means that, alongside culture and hot springs, outdoor activities offer another focus for your trip.
Events add another dimension. La Paz hosts the Fiesta Nacional de Pesca Variada de Río, which attracts visitors from across the country. The Fiesta del Surubí is also held regularly and is connected to the river. La Paz also hosts the Triathlon Internacional de La Paz. If a festival or competition is the reason for your trip, check the specific dates before booking.
Planning Your Journey and Accommodation
One of the road routes to La Paz is via National Route 12. Take this road connection into account when planning your journey.
When looking for a hotel in La Paz, it helps to first decide what you are traveling for: Would you mainly like to explore the city’s history and art, visit the hot springs, go hiking and observe nature, or attend an event? Then compare the location and conditions of each option before booking.
