Gualeguaychú

My hometown lies on the banks of the Gualeguaychú River in the south east of Entre Rios and is two hundred kilometres away from Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina.

The town holds a nationally-renowned carnival festival which includes floats, music and dancing in the summer and a traditional student-made float parade in the spring.

Gualeguaychú is also known as the "City of Poets" because writers such as Olegario V. Andrade, Luis N. Palma y Gervasio Mendez lived here.
