Fishing near Jardín América, Misiones

Jardín América sits in the San Ignacio department of Misiones Province, in the subtropical northeast of Argentina. The city lies close to the Río Paraná, one of the great rivers of South America, and is surrounded by a network of arroyos — Arroyo Tabay, Arroyo Cuñapirú, Arroyo Las Antas, and others — that drain the red-soiled Misionero interior. Fishing here is a freshwater pursuit centered on the Paraná and its tributary streams, where species like pejerrey and piranha-family fish are part of the local catch.
