The town lies on the banks of the Arroyo Nogoyá; its wetland landscape is connected to the old delta of the Río Nogoyá.

Here, different interests in waterside landscapes, fishing and festival culture come together.
Waterside Landscapes and River Connections
The Arroyo Nogoyá forms a natural boundary between the Victoria and Gualeguay departments. Rincón de Nogoyá also provides access to numerous streams that drain into the Río Victoria. The Río Victoria, in turn, flows into the Paraná Pavón. These waterways have different geographic connections: the arroyo marks the town’s location and the departmental boundary, while the streams belong to the Río Victoria river system.
The wetland landscape near Rincón is also connected to the old delta of the Río Nogoyá.
