Giuseppe Garibaldi was an Italian sailor that had to flee from his country due to his political beliefs.
After arriving in South America, he and his men started to pillage the towns along the Uruguay River. When they found out that Gualeguaychú was a flourishing town, they came here, settled in Haedo’s house and took the family hostage.

The Fish and Wine Festival has become one of the main tourist attractions for people from Gualeguaychú and those who come to visit us.
This festival, which is held in the summertime, is popular not only for selling traditional food and drinks, but for inviting important local, national, and international artists. Some people go to the festival with their own deckchairs and drink mate with family or friends.
It attracts visitors because it takes place a few weeks before the Town's Carnival Parade starts, so they can decide enjoy both events in a short period of time.
Gualeguaychú is a town where you can connect with nature. You can see birds, trees and fishes.
One of the many reserves in town is Parque Florístico (Flora Park), which is a protected area run by the townhall. It’s located in Unzue Park near the Gualeguaychu River.
Parque Florístico is a public reserve, mostly used by local people to relax. Here you can see people jogging , walking, or cycling or just drinking mate.
