PAZ is located in the North of the County of Entre Rios, concretely 530 kms.
to the North of the city of Buenos Aires (capital of the country and the city
more big and populous of Argentina), recumbent on the left riverbank of the
river Parana, one of those more mighty of the American continent.
The city has 25.000
inhabitants and it is the head of the department of the same name. It is located
amid the one denominated “Mesopotamia Argentina” being their half height the
28 mts. on the level of the sea, that is to say, a typical plain city.
This town is highly
an agricultural-cattleman, having suffered a strong impulse of the tourism
like economic resource starting from half-filled of the decade of the 70.
At the moment their main tourist product constitutes it the FISHING of the
species but valuable among the river fish: the dorado and the surubi.
In March, and
after carrying out an exploration process and prospecting of but of two years,
it was discovered in the area of the Ex-Parque Balneario The Tannery located
to the South of the urban plant of the city, the presence of THERMAL WATERS
of between 40 and 42 degrees of temperature and rich in salts minerals. The

ARRIVING TO LA PAZ
FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES
BY PLANE: LA PAZ doesn't HAVE AIRPORT. The way easier and more accessible of arriving from any foreign country
it is to arrive previously at the INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OF EZEIZA (in Buenos
Aires, capital of the Republic) and from there–previous transfer until the
METROPOLITAN AIRPORT “JORGE NEWBERY “using the company of transport “Tienda
Leon“–a coastal traffic flight should be hired to the cities of SANTA FE (Airport
of Sauce Viejo) or PARANA (Airport of the Air Brigrada), places toward where
they operate the AEROLINEAS ARGENTINAS, AUSTRAL, ARG and SOUTHERN WINDS weekly.
The schedules of the flights of these companies and the respective rates should
be consulted with your travel agent.
It is highly convenient
to travel from the foreigner already having included the flight BUENOS AIRES
/ SANTA FE / BUENOS AIRES since in that way their cost is scanty or minimum
(some companies of trips directly give it free), besides being very practical
for the traveler the transfer of Ezeiza to Jorge Newbery Airport.
Once in Santa
Fe or Parana, the only means or ways of arriving are by surface mail through
the bus services that leave from the TERMINAL STATIONS OF BUS of both cities
until La Paz. The travel in bus from Santa Fe or Paraná to La Paz has a duration
of 2 hours (maximum) and the buses are very comfortable.
We advise you to inform to the organization of the competition
of the hour and approximate day of arrival to that city from La Paz to the
ends of making the pertinent arrangements for their best attention and location.
From the city of Cordoba: For the Route 19–and after
going by San Francisco–you arrives to Santa Fe. From there it should be consented–via Túnel Subfluvial–to the city of Parana.
From there for the Route 12 you takes toward the North. It distances from
Cordoba: 511 kilometers
BY TERRESTRIAL: From Buenos Aires they operate six companies that have
daily services to La Paz: ETA, TATA, FLECHA BUS, CHEVALIER, Ciudad de Posadas
and Empresa Silvia. The same ones have a total of but of
7 daily frequencies in varied schedules, some of them–as the case of the Empresa
Silvia–with car-bed service. The schedules of the exits they should be consulted
to the Central Station of Bus of Retiro (Buenos Aires). Duration of the trip:
7/8 hours. APPROXIMATE COST OF THE PASSAGE: Among u$s 25,00 (going and turn)
From Parana and Santa Fe: From these cities there are
bigger quantity of frequencies and daily exits, approximately among 8 and
9 daily exits of the ETA, TATA and Ríos Tur enterprises, in every schedule,
except between the 0.00 and the 5.00 hours. APPROXIMATE
COST OF THE PASSAGE: Among u$s 4 and 5 (going and turn)

The traditional dinner in the vigil of the

of kids triathlon in which it will participate more of 180 small of both sexes
of the whole country of between 6 and 13 years, the later parade for the streets
