The General Manuel Belgrano Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the broad Paraná river, linking the city of Corrientes with Resistencia in Chaco province, just below the mouth of the Paraguay river. Opened on 10 May 1973, it was the first bridge in Argentina to cross the Paraná, ending the isolation of Corrientes and Misiones provinces from the rest of the country. The bridge has become the symbol of Corrientes, and the best place to see it is the city's long riverside promenade, where people walk and sit at sunset as its towers and cables reflect on the water, lit up at night. River beaches, cafés and gardens line the promenade. It is free, best just before and after sunset. Summers are very hot, so evening suits walking best.
