WELCOME TO FORMOSA !

I'm a "formoseño", an my state is a cool place to know. The peace in early hours of afternoon, habits, partys, and people are make this place special. So let's the guide start.

WHERE ARE YOU!

If you arrive to Formosa by plain, you are in the airport and is only one way to arrive to dawntown, so don't worry; is not far but u must take a cab . In Formosa the cabs are called "remises" and they must be identified.

 BEFORE YOU PICK A CAB.

 The formosenian usually is not a bad person, but you gonna come speaking english or some other lenguage and that can always be expensive in Argentina ;D. Anyways, the cab is not expensive . Call for one o pick one right outside the airport terminal, or calling to the "bases" http://guiaformosa.com.ar/remises-en-formosa/ by phone. Ask for the price before you get inside.

If you arribe by bus, u are in the bus terminal (or "terminal de ómnibus"), and you are practicly in downtown . 25 blocks away to the formosenian dock, 15 blocks to plaza San Martín (main square) . You also can take a "remis" if you want to. For the walk just go to the avenue cross it and walk to your left. At your right you going to see a big white cross far away. You must go to the Plaza San Martín. 

U had rented a car? well when you arrive to Formosa just continue the road until the Plaza San Martín or The formosenian dock for find a nice hotel.

HOW TO KNOW WHERE ARE YOU

Formosa have blocks of 100 meters each. Have a main square (Plaza San Martín) in the meedle of the historic city and two ways to acces the city. You can walk it all. From Paraguay the north access (Acceso Norte) and from the rest of Argentina the south access (Acceso Sur). 

The Green block (4 blocks together really), is the Plaza San Martín, if you got lost just go there.

Downtown is composed by 4 neighborhoods: San Martín, Independencia, Sarmiento y Don Bosco. The main street is called Avenida 25 de mayo, and goes from the City cementery until the formosenian dock crossing thru Plaza San Martín. Before the city cementery the Avenida 25 de mayo is called Avenida Gutnisky. Other important street in Formosa is "9 de julio", this avenue is divided in two by the Plaza San Martín. 9 de julio is the avenue that conect downtown with the notrh access, becoming a new avenue "Avenida Independencia". In the oposite direction the avenue 9 de julio can take you to a dirt street to "Laguna Oca", a biosphere reservation with a river beach inside. The goverment of Formosa have a web page that u can use, but is in spanish.

 Anyways, start knowing the city center, the costanera, and access south and north; and mantein yourself in those places at night, is very sure and in other places is nothing nice to see at night hours.
