Nestled on the banks of the Paraná River bordering Paraguay, Posadas is the vibrant capital city of Argentina’s Misiones province, serving as a gateway to the region’s stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

The Iguazú Falls, one of the world’s great natural wonders, thunder along the border of Argentina and Brazil in the far north of Misiones. Surrounded by rainforest teeming with wildlife and rare plants, they captivate visitors with their sheer power and breathtaking beauty.

The province of Misiones takes its name from the Jesuit missions established across the region, several of which are now UNESCO World Heritage sites. They stand as lasting witnesses to the historic encounter between Jesuit missionaries and the Guaraní people.
