General Urquiza is a village and municipality in Misiones Province in northeastern Argentina. It is located within the department San Ignacio. The town runs from the coast of Paraná River and the National Road No. 12. General Urquiza is located on the coast of Paraná and settled the major population centers: Puerto Menocchio, Port of Spain, Puerto Lapacho and Gisela Cologne. However, the decline in the use of the river as a transport medium promoted the formation of a settlement located just 1.5 miles of Route 12, in what is known as Barrio Industrial and building housing the municipality of General Urquiza. For this reason this settlement now known as General Urquiza.
