Gualeguaychú's Slaughterhouse

“Frigorífico Gualeguaychú” used to be the base of the town’s economy. This slaughterhouse has been, since the late twenties, a very important part of every citizen life. There is almost no neighbor in town who doesn’t know a relative or friend who worked at the slaughterhouse. The building is still affectionately remembered and it closure is an open wound in the community’s heart.  Today, we expect to highlight this forgotten jewel that marked a turning point in Gualeguaychú’s history.

Gualeguaychú Port: A place that has influenced our identity.

We invite you to have a close look at this charming part of Gualeguaychú.

At a certain time the Port of Gualeguaychú was very busy with foreign trade activity. In addition to that, it was the gateway for immigrants. Nowadays, the Port has become an attraction and is still linked to the development of the town, now associated with tourism and culture.

The warehouses or “Galpones del Puerto” are located in the heart of the port with an incredible view of a castle opposite, on Liberty Island. The warehouses are used for many cultural activities such as festivals, concerts and fairs.

In the south of the riverside, there is a new public space called Costanera del Tiempo. There is an amphitheatre and a cultural centre where different social activities are held.
