Rivers and Lakes
The chief rivers of Argentina are the Parana, which traverses the north
central portion of the country; the Uruguay, which forms part of the boundary
with Uruguay; the Paraguay, which is the main affluent of the Parana;
and the Rio de la Plata (see PLATA, RIO DE LA), the great estuary formed
by the confluence of the Parana and the Uruguay rivers. The Parana-Uruguay
system is navigable for nearly 3200 km (about 2000 mi).
A famed scenic attraction, the Iguazú Falls (see IGUACU), is on
the river of the same name, a tributary of the Parana. Other important
rivers of Argentina are the Rio Colorado, the Rio Salado, and the Rio
Negro. In the area between the Rio Salado and the Rio Colorado and in
the Chaco region, some large rivers empty into swamps and marshes or disappear
into sinks. The hydrography of the country includes numerous lakes, particularly
among the foothills of the Patagonian Andes.
The best known are those in the alpine lake country around the resort
town of Bariloche.
