Hotels in La Paz
La Paz is a riverside town in northern Entre Ríos, spread along the Paraná River roughly 164 km from Paraná. Best known nationally for its dorado fishing, it pairs sandy river beaches with a handful of family-run hotels and aparthotels suited to anglers, road-trippers and small groups.
Travellers heading to La Paz are usually chasing the Paraná River rather than a checklist of sights: this Entre Ríos town built its reputation on dorado fishing, and the balnearios along the riverbank fill up with local families every summer. Hotels here cluster in a walkable centre a short stretch from the water, ranging from a compact aparthotel with kitchenette units to family-run hotels with pools, gardens and, in two cases, a golf course three kilometres out of town. It suits travellers doing a longer Entre Ríos loop who want a quiet overnight rather than a resort scene, couples on a fishing trip, and families who prefer a garden and a pool to a crowded beach. Public transport is limited, so most visitors arrive by car via the provincial route from Paraná.

Local tips
- Book your stay well ahead of January, when the dorado fishing season and the annual festival crowd draw summer visitors from across Entre Ríos and fill the town's small hotel supply fast.
- Bring a car if you can, since bus connections from Paraná run on a limited schedule and both the golf course and the riverside balnearios sit outside comfortable walking distance from the centre.
- Pack light for river days: a swimsuit, sandals and sun protection cover most of what you'll actually do here, whether that's the balnearios or a hotel pool on a hot afternoon.
- Ask your hotel directly about dorado fishing guides rather than booking online, since the smaller family-run properties in La Paz usually know a local guide personally and can arrange a boat.
- Choose an aparthotel with its own kitchenette if you're staying more than a couple of nights, since restaurant options in the town centre thin out once you move past the main street.
- Visit outside January if you'd rather have a quiet riverfront to yourself, since the national fishing festival books out rooms and balneario space across town well in advance every year.

FAQ
What is La Paz, Entre Ríos known for?
La Paz is best known as one of Argentina's dorado fishing capitals, drawing anglers to the Paraná River for an annual national festival built around the species. Outside fishing season, the town's riverside balnearios and quiet pace attract families and couples doing a longer loop through Entre Ríos.
How far is La Paz from Paraná?
La Paz sits roughly 164 km from Paraná, the provincial capital, a drive most visitors make along the provincial route since public transport options are limited. It's a manageable day-trip distance if you're based in Paraná and want to add a riverside stop to an Entre Ríos itinerary.
What type of hotels are available in La Paz?
Options run from a compact aparthotel with kitchenette units to family-run hotels with gardens, pools and, in two cases, a golf course a short drive from the centre. Most properties are small and independently run rather than chain hotels, with family rooms as a standard category across town.
Is La Paz good for a family trip?
Yes, several hotels here offer family rooms, gardens and pools, and the riverside balnearios give children a shallow, supervised place to swim in summer. The town's slower pace and limited nightlife suit families more than travellers looking for an active evening scene.
When is the best time to visit La Paz for fishing?
January is peak season, when the dorado run draws anglers for the town's national fishing festival and hotel rooms book out well ahead. Travellers who want quieter access to the same fishing spots without festival crowds tend to visit in the shoulder months either side of summer.
Can you visit La Paz without a car?
It's possible but limiting: the town centre itself is walkable, but the golf course, some balnearios and day trips toward Paraná sit beyond comfortable walking distance. Most visitors arrive by car via the provincial route, and taxis within town cover the rest.
