Mitre Park

This beautiful place with a magnificent landscape, constituted the scene of imprtantes battles during the war of the Triple Alliance (1865-1870). General Miter defended the city from the attacks of the Paraguayan army from here.

Visitors must cross the old Battery Bridge to reach the “PUNTA MITRE or ARAZÁ.” Once there, you can see the Arazá stream, an old “Faro” built in 1887. The Punta “Miter” is one of the seven penínsulas which protrudes over the Parana. In its center stands the Monument to General Bartolomé MITER and “Las Cautivas”, the latter was made by the Argentine sculptor Luis Perlotti (1941), representing the women of Corrientes kidnapped by the foreign army. From there we can also observe the complete facilities of the Regatas Club, with its beaches and mooring for boats of medium size.

A walk or bike ride allows us to appreciate the varied arboreal wealth of the park, which highlights the gigantic “Gomero de la India”, which is a tree over 100 years old.

The park is an ideal place for family recreation because it also offers numerous playgrounds, free library, carousels, hammocks, slides, exercise machines and a modern skate track.

Camba Cuá Park

With 3 parked hectares, it is one of the largest, located in the neighborhood of the same name, which is one of the oldest in the city. Its name in Guarani means “Cave of the Blacks” and evokes the post-colonial era in which emancipated blacks occupied this site. It is the main stage of cultural events such as the traditional festival of San Baltasar (January 6) where the rhythm of candombe and charanda reigns.

It is one of the best places to appreciate the art of muralism in the open air, which defines the Corrientes capital as “the City of Murals”. There are also children’s games, carousels, skating rink, exercise machines and the “Adolfo Mors” cultural hall, where we can enjoy varied art exhibitions during the whole year.
