This pocket-sized town in Misiones Province, north-eastern Argentina, holds the title of provincial capital of the peach, built around the peach orchards and processing plant that grew from an early colony of German, Czech, Slovak, Ukrainian, and Polish settlers who originally cultivated tobacco and yerba mate. The surrounding area offers scenic viewpoints, and the town sits close to mountains and within reach of UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
