Cipolletti

Cipolletti occupies an irrigated stretch of the Alto Valle in northern Río Negro Province. The Neuquén River runs along the city’s northern side, close to its meeting with the Limay River, where the Río Negro begins. This setting places Cipolletti within the continuous urban area shared with nearby Neuquén, yet its identity is closely tied to the valley’s canals, farms and fruit-packing tradition. Apple and pear orchards have long shaped the regional economy, turning this otherwise semi-arid Patagonian corridor into a productive agricultural district. Named for the Italian engineer César Cipolletti, who worked on water-management projects in the region, the city recalls the importance of irrigation to settlement here.
