The Maru Family in San Pedro was kind enough to take Evan and his companion to the Vuelta de Obligado site on the Parana River. The naval Battle of Vuelta de Obligado took place on the waters of the Paraná River on November 20, 1845, between the Argentine Confederation, under the leadership of Juan Manuel de Rosas, and an Anglo-French fleet. The European countries were trying to access the interior of South America without paying the tariffs for trade demanded by the Argentine Confederation. There is also a wonderful nature preserve in the area where they all enjoyed hiking and climbing in the jungle.

Elder Diaz, Evan and Matias Maru by one of the commemorative art pieces. The chains to the right of the picture depict the chains that were strung from ship to ship across the river to keep the European vessels from accessing the upper ports on the Parana River.
Evan always has enjoyed playing frisbee in the parks.
