In the third day of our trip, already in Argentina, we will descend the Paraná basin until we reach the pampas, the vast plain covered with pasture. We will follow the Paraguai river towards the Paraná river. By then we will be deep in the Plate river basin, where much of South America's history unfolded. The jesuit missions were established here. Upon arriving at the majestic Paraná river, we will be in the city of Corrientes, where we will spend the night.
