Voykit pocket guide · Argentina

Clorinda

Spend a half‑day exploring the riverfront and main square; add a night if you need rest after crossing the border.

Clorinda is a small border town of about 47 000 people in Formosa Province. Most attractions are within walking distance, so a few hours suffice; a night stay is useful for travelers crossing from Paraguay or catching a bus.
