Gálvez offers two distinct points of interest: a public square with a specific name and a festival with international participation. Plaza de la Mujer helps you locate a specific place in the city; the festival represents an event featuring culture, food and dance.
Plaza de la Mujer and the festival in Gálvez
Plaza de la Mujer is a public square at the intersection of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Balbiano in Gálvez. If you use specific place names to guide your trip planning, it gives you a precise reference point in the city. The square and the festival are different points of interest: one is a public place, while the other is a programme featuring several cultural elements.
The Fiesta de las Colectividades, Culturas y Sabores del Mundo featured stalls from 22 countries, food, handicrafts and traditional dances. More than 400 dancers performed on stage. The participation at the stalls and the large number of performers on stage show two different dimensions of the festival. If you are planning a trip around a future edition, check the specific event date in advance.

River landscape and history near Puerto Gaboto
Puerto Gaboto in the Department of San Jerónimo lies where the Río Carcarañá flows into the Río Coronda. Puerto Gaboto in the Department of San Jerónimo is also an access port to the national park. For planning purposes, water activities and a historical perspective can be treated as separate themes, without combining them into a single excursion.
Puerto Gaboto in the Department of San Jerónimo is also home to Fuerte Sancti Spiritus, which existed from 1527 to 1529. It is considered the first European settlement in the Río de la Plata Basin and in what is now Argentina. Archaeological investigations identified and excavated structures and artefacts from this first settlement there. The dates and archaeological finds give the site a clear historical connection; they offer a different way to experience the Department than the boat trips in the national park.
