Nature

The city is known as the national capital of citrus production. El Palmar National Park, an important reserve for Yatay palm trees, lies 60 km south of the city.

Transport

The area is served by an airport (IATA: COC, ICAO: SAAC) located at 31°18′S 58°0′W / 31.300°S 58.000°W / -31.300; -58.000, but which is ostensibly not operational.

A binational airport shared with the city of Salto, Uruguay (which lies opposite Concordia), and it is expected to be finalized before the end of 2024.[7]
