A river that flows between Uruguay and Argentina on the Atlantic coast of eastern South America. Discovered in 1516 by the Spaniard Juan Dias de Solis, it is the mouth of a large basin made up of the three major rivers, the Paraguay, the Paraná, and the Uruguay, and countless smaller rivers. The part where the Paraná and Uruguay join together, called the La Plata, covers an area of about 300 km, but its total drainage area is about 4.35 million km2, making it the fourth largest in the world, and its flow rate is second only to the Amazon River.
