Bahia Negra.

The River Paraguay is the second major river in the Rio de la Plata watershed,
it runs over a course of approximately 2,549 kilometers (1,584 miles) from its
headwaters in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso to its confluence with the
Parana River north of Corrientes, covering a vast area of land that includes
major portions of northern Argentina, southern Brazil, Uruguay, parts of
Bolivia and the entire country of Paraguay. Unlike many of the other great
rivers of the Parana basin, the Paraguay has not been dammed for hydroelectric
power generation, and as such it is navigable for a considerable distance.
This makes it an important shipping and trade corridor, providing a much
needed link to the Atlantic Ocean for the otherwise landlocked nations of
Paraguay and Bolivia. It serves such important cities as Asuncion and
Concepcion in Paraguay and Formosa in Argentina.
