Everything about Negro River Chaco totally explained
The
Negro River or
Black River, from Castilian:
Rio Negro, one of the
Chaco's
Argentine province is born at the juncture of the
Guaycurú and
Bermejito rivers. It then crosses the
Chaco National Park, and continues its path to cross, near its end, the cities of
Puerto Tirol,
Resistencia and
Barranqueras, where it finally reaches
Barranqueras River, arm of the
Paraná River.
The flatlands' river has changed it course several times along the years, leaving wet depressions,
meanders and lagoons. This took place because of three different factors; frequent draughts, sediments accumulation and human-made deviations of the riverbed. The river is currently contaminated by industrial waste, mainly from the leather tanning.
The
Río Negro has historical importance to Resistencia, capital of Chaco Province, since most immigrants that populated Chaco arrived to the city in boats that drove up-river.
On
February 2 every year the Festival of the Canoes and Boats is celebrated, remembering the day of the arrival of the first vapour that brought
Friulian pioneers to the province.
The river is also used for sport such as
rowing, and its importance as a means for commercial transport, once the main connection with the rest of the province, has nowadays disappeared.
