Coronda Lagoon

Coronda Lagoon belongs to the floodplain of the Paraná and the Coronda River, a network of channels, islands and wetlands in the Argentine lowlands. The Coronda people lived along this stretch of the Paraná and around the lagoon when the first Spanish expeditions arrived in the sixteenth century. In 1527 Sebastián Cabot founded the fort of Sancti Spiritus near the meeting of the Coronda and Carcarañá rivers; Indigenous attackers destroyed it two years later.
