Presidencia Roque Sáenz Peña is the second most significant city in Chaco Province, often referred to as the country's cotton capital. The settlement lies in the center of the province, with its economy based on agriculture, particularly cotton and soybean exports. However, the city is famous for more than its industry: it is home to the region's most important thermal baths, which attract health tourism enthusiasts from afar with their healing waters. Sáenz Peña is proud of its multicultural heritage, as many Central and Eastern European immigrants (including many Czechs and Ukrainians) settled here in the early 20th century, enriching local culture and customs. The modern city center features wide streets and well-maintained parks, showcasing the development of the Chaco region.
