Tourism in Misiones: All You Need to Know about the Province
Home to one of the Natural Wonders of the World, Misiones is the land of rivers and jungles, of plains and valleys, of crops and cultural roots. It represents a blast of wind in the Argentinian north and a moment of intimate connection with nature. Immensity, power, and excitement welcome you as you enter the province.
Live an exuberant experience
Reddish color earth. Valleys surrounded by trees. Hills covered by the forest. Plains extending with slight slopes. Go deep into a province founded upon the roots of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Get a close look at crops such as tobacco and manioc. Discover plantations of tea and yerba mate: the native tree of the Paraná forest where mate, the Argentine national drink, has its origin.
Watch over eight hundred water courses. Creeks that originate in the hills and release their waters forming jumps and falls. Mighty rivers that make up the Del Plata Basin: the Paraná, Iguazú and Uruguay rivers. You will be surprised by ecosystems with a wide biological diversity, sustained by the humidity of the environment that results from the rainfall. And you will be amazed to feel the immensity and strength of one of the wonders of the world: the Iguazú Falls. Misiones is waiting for you.
