Concordia is the second-largest city in Entre Ríos Province and a vital economic hub located on the banks of the Uruguay River. The city is famous for being the citrus capital of Argentina, surrounded by vast plantations of oranges and lemons. Just north of the city lies the massive Salto Grande Dam, a binational hydroelectric project shared with Uruguay that also created a large lake popular for water sports and fishing. Concordia is also known for its thermal baths, which have made it a major destination for wellness tourism. The historic 'Palacio Arruabarrena' and the 'Castillo San Carlos' (which famously inspired writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) are key landmarks that showcase the city's rich architectural and cultural heritage. It is an animated city where industry, nature, and history converge.
