Termas de Concordia

Termas de Concordia in the Entre Ríos Province of Argentina, directly across the Uruguay River from the Uruguayan city of Salto and adjacent to the Salto Grande international hydroelectric dam complex, draws from the Guaraní Aquifer's oligomineral thermal waters in a strategic border city that has served as a major crossing point between Argentina and Uruguay since colonial times, its international significance enhanced by the shared hydroelectric infrastructure connecting the two countries. The lightly mineralised thermal water of Concordia's aquifer feeds resort facilities that attract both Argentine and Uruguayan visitors to this border city, whose cosmopolitan character reflects its position at the convergence of Rioplatense Argentine and Oriental Uruguayan cultures in the subtropical Mesopotamia. The combination of Guaraní Aquifer thermal resources, the spectacular natural lagoon system of the nearby Salto Grande dam reservoir, and Concordia's position as a major regional commercial and cultural centre on the Uruguay River makes it one of the Entre Ríos thermal circuit's most internationally accessible nodes.
