On the border of Argentina and Uruguay where the Uruguay River and the Paran\u00ed\u00a1 River meet is found the R\u00ed\u00ado de la Plata (River of Silver or, alternatively, River Plate). The R\u00ed\u00ado de la Plata is more an estuary than a river, extending 180 miles to the ocean, varying from 1.2 miles wide in the interior to 140 miles wide at its mouth. Because the river carries huge amounts of sediments from the interior of South America, the R\u00ed\u00ado de la Plata is muddy and brown. The capitals of both Argentina (Buenos Aires) and Uruguay (Montevideo) lie on the shores of the river, and Reserva Ecol\u00f3gica Costanera Sur (South Waterfront Ecological Reserve) in Buenos Aires borders on the R\u00ed\u00ado de la Plata. From Reserva Ecol\u00f3gica Costanera Sur, the Buquebus can be seen carrying passengers between Argentina and Uruguay and container ships such as the MSC Fiammetta (MSC = Mediterranean Shipping Company) can be seen carrying goods to Buenos Aires and other cities along the river.
