It is a brackish estuary formed by the confluence of the Parana River and the Uruguay River. The fresh water extends well into the bay, and the first Spanish explorer in 1516 (Juan Diaz de Solis) called it the Mar Dulce (Fresh Water Sea).
Some geographers consider the Río de la Plata a gulf or marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean, while others consider it a river. Most Argentinians will tell you it is a river.
In Spanish, Rio = River, and Rio de la Plata means "River of Silver."

More than three rivers flow into the Rio de la Plata (River Plate).The main ones are the Paraná and Uruguay rivers.But for instance: Samborombón, Salado, Ajó, Riachuelo, Lujan rivers flow into the Rio de la Plata south of the Paraná River Delta (which in itself has hundreds of rivers)[*].[*] The Paraná opens up into many arms before draining into the Rio de la Plata, such as: Parana Guazu, Parana Mini, Parana de las Palmas. But many other rivers split from these and flow into the Plata (i.e. Urion, San Antonio, Caracoles, etc.) as well as others that flow from the mainland into the delta and from there to the Rio de la Plata such as the Lujan.On the Uruguayan side of the Rio de la Plata you will find many rivers: Solis Chico, Solis Grande, Carrasco, Santa Lucia and so on.
