Capital of Corrientes province, some 30 km southwest of the meeting of the rivers Paraná and Paraguay, the city is mainly a service centre for its agricultural hinterland which produces beef, cotton, tobacco, rice and yerba mate. Although Corrientes is less important transport hub than Resistencia, it is a pleasant place for a stopover. The city centre, with its peaceful traditional streets and squares, is well preserved and its costanera is one of the most attractive in the country. The national capital of Carnival, the city is also famous as the location of Graham Greene’s novel The Honorary Consul. In summer the air can oppressively hot and humid, but in winter the climate is pleasant.
