Resistencia is the capital of Chaco province in northeastern Argentina, on the Paraná opposite Corrientes. It is a flat, hot city on the edge of the Gran Chaco, and has made sculpture its defining civic project.
The city is known as the city of sculptures, with many hundreds of works standing in its streets and squares, added through a long-running biennial that invites artists to carve in public. The Chaco national park and the Gran Chaco dry forest lie west, and the Iberá wetlands are reachable across the river.
The centre is walkable and the sculptures are best seen on foot. Buses cross the bridge to Corrientes, and roads run west into the Chaco.
Winter and the shoulder seasons are much the most comfortable, as summers in the Chaco are among the hottest in Argentina. The dry season is also easier for reaching the national park.
Argentina uses the ARS, calling code +54.
Argentina uses the peso, and Spanish is the language with Guaraní also spoken in the region. Manner is warm and unhurried, and it is worth checking locally which payment methods are most practical.
