Resistencia, the capital of the Chaco province in northeastern Argentina, is located on the banks of the Paraguay River across from neighboring Encarnación, Paraguay, and is known as the "Crafts Capital of Argentina". The city combines Guaraní indigenous culture, European immigrant traditions and modern urban dynamism. The International Crafts Fair held every May attracts artists from all over the world to showcase unique works of wood carving, pottery, textiles and more. The climate is humid subtropical, with rainy summers and mild winters, and the surrounding area boasts expansive Chacoan scrub forests and wetland ecoregions, making it a destination for nature lovers to explore. As a regional economic center, agriculture (e.g., cotton, soybeans) and forestry are the mainstay industries, while it is gradually becoming a popular choice for Argentine domestic migrants due to its low cost and livability. With a population of about 300,000, the city retains the architectural charm of the colonial period, but is also filled with the creative energy of a young city.
