Santiago del Estero

Santiago del Estero, tucked along the Dulce River on the edge of Argentina’s Gran Chaco, is a place whose character is shaped by a hot, semi-arid climate and the river’s irrigated corridor. Founded in 1553, it is widely regarded as Argentina’s oldest city; Plaza Libertad and the Cathedral Basilica remain focal points of the centre. Chacarera, the folk music and dance closely associated with the province, gives the city a strong musical identity, especially during the annual Festival Nacional de la Chacarera. Parque Aguirre provides a broad green space beside the Dulce. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Santiago del Estero and its province.
