CITY DESCRIPTION:COLON
is a smaller city with about 56,000 people in Entre Rios Province about
220 miles north northwest of Buenos Aires. It is easily accessible by road
from the capital. It is located on the Uruguay River and is primarily a
tourist oriented city. It is known by its slogan "Paradise City", and is
noted for its friendly populace and artesian community, and hosts the annual
National Fiesta de la Artesiana in February. It, like much of the province,
reflects a quieter, simpler, more leisurely pace of the past but combines
it with a tourism infrastructure that insures a comfortable and memorable
stay.
