Discover La Paz: Museums, Thermal Waters and the Paraná River
Accommodation in La Paz
La Paz on the Paraná River offers several themes to consider when planning a trip: local history and art, thermal waters, nature watching and events. If you’re looking for a hotel, you can start by thinking about which of these themes you’d like to shape your stay.
La Paz on the Paraná: Getting Oriented and Getting There
La Paz lies on the RĂo Paraná in the north of Entre RĂos Province and is part of the Corredor TurĂstico del Paraná. One road route to La Paz is via National Route 12. The river setting is also a feature of some attractions and events: the Complejo Termal offers panoramic views of the Paraná, and several recurring events are connected with the river. This makes it possible to consider the city’s different facets separately when planning a trip.
Museums, Local History and Crafts
The Museo Regional Alicia González Castrillón offers guided tours about the history of La Paz. The Centro de Artesanos La Paz is right next to the Museo Regional, offering products made by local artisans. The neighboring locations therefore bring together two different interests: learning about the city’s history and discovering local crafts.
Another cultural destination is the Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes y Casa de la Cultura. A municipal tourism description dated December 22, 2024, states that the museum has more than 600 works of Argentine art. The building’s history is also part of what visitors can discover: in 2018, the building housing the Casa de la Cultura y Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes was declared provincial architectural heritage of Entre RĂos. A visit to the museum therefore highlights both the art collection and the historical significance of the building.
Thermal Waters and River Views
The Complejo Termal de La Paz is located in the ravines of the RĂo Paraná and offers panoramic views of the river. Its pools vary in size, depth and temperature, so they do not all offer the same bathing experience. The water itself is another distinctive feature: it is of marine origin and highly mineralized. Its listed components include sulfates, calcium, chlorides, magnesium and strontium.
This offers a different focus for trip planning than the museums: at the thermal complex, the pools, water and views of the Paraná take center stage. Check the complex’s current conditions before visiting.
Nature and Events
Those interested in hiking and observing flora and fauna can enjoy these activities at both Parque de la Aventura and Circuito de La Curtiembre. These are two distinct places to enjoy nature activities; both are associated with hiking and nature watching.
Events can also be a reason to visit. La Paz hosts the recurring Fiesta Nacional de Pesca Variada de RĂo, which attracts visitors from across the country. The Fiesta del SurubĂ is a recurring event connected with the river. La Paz also hosts the Triathlon Internacional de La Paz. These occasions differ in theme, from the two fishing events connected with the river to the triathlon.
When searching for hotels in La Paz, it helps to decide on the focus of your trip in advance: would you like to include guided tours and art collections, experience the thermal waters, make time for hiking and nature watching, or plan your trip around an event?
