Explore Rosario, located beside the picturesque Paraná River, where you will uncover its rich history and vibrant spaces on this complimentary walking tour through the largest city in the Santa Fe province.

Tour Overview

We'll gather at the former Customs building's steps to kick off our walking experience in Rosario, a city known for its significance and population.

Our journey will commence at the Fuente de las Utopías, positioned along the historic Bajada Sargento Cabral. Here, you'll delve into tales surrounding the covert tunnels said to lie beneath the streets. Following this, we will move toward the scenic banks of the Paraná River, where we will uncover the transformation of old port warehouses into contemporary cultural hubs.

Moving alongside the river, we will reach Parque España, where we'll appreciate the artistic contributions of Catalan architect Oriol Bohigas. Nearby stands the Centro de Expresiones Contemporáneas (CEC), a key landmark along the waterfront that embodies the area's cultural essence.

As we wander, we will examine the wetland ecosystems and discuss the rich biodiversity present along the Paraná River, which serves as a natural boundary between Santa Fe and Entre Ríos. A notable stop will be at a historical map adjacent to the CEC, where you will gain insights into General Manuel Belgrano.

This two-hour journey will culminate at the National Flag Memorial, where you will discover the pivotal moment when General Belgrano first raised Argentina's national flag on February 27, 1812, along the Paraná banks—a significant historical milestone.
