Resistencia is a city in Chaco, Argentina.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
A parkway where you can see some sculptures like of a lotus plant and T-rex or visit the embankment of the languid Rio Negro river. It's a little more exciting when there's a festival going on. Look for statues along the way on Avenida de Los Inmigrantes as well.
This is the town plaza where you can take in the real energy of Resistencia (or not). The centerpiece is a man on horseback wearing a felt bicorne like Napoleon used to wear, but, not to worry, other statues here too. And along the northwest side you'll find the San Fernando cathedral and Chaco Province government building (easy ugly award nominee?). Might be best to avoid at night or when demonstrations are going on.
Local history museum, where you can learn about the Chaco region and its indigenous inhabitants.
Little armadillo replicas on display and such items.
Alternative Cultural Center
Folklore/culture space where you can explore different displays, listen to performances, and buy things.
Unpretentious accommodation but in a fairly decent neighborhood.
Casino resort that practically takes up a whole city block. Nice pool.
Pedestrian shopping area with lots of little boutique shops and eateries. Also a sculpture venue, in case you have not tired of them.
By train
There is a small network of regional services, linking Resistencia with its suburbs and nearby towns. There is one slightly longer route from Los Amores in the province of Santa Fe.
