Santa Ana

El Cacho took us to a very curious place called Santa Ana near Corrientes. It was a beautiful town frozen in time. It was a town that thrived from sugar cane industry but when a major sugar company relocated to another part of the country the towns economy perished and the town remained petrified. It is a living town but it is like being in the past with very old little buildings and dirt roads.
The town maintained its old train station with an old train in it. This is where began our astonishment at the disappearance of an enormous rail network that had helped Argentina to become a Nation. Now you come across its relics in every town. Its demise was very recent being killed off completely by the government the nineties. It is a very sad thing.
