• IGUAZÚ
275 waterfalls in the shape of a half-moon flow over a drop of 70 m. The frontier with Brazil goes through the Garganta del Diablo (The Devil's Throat) which is 150 m wide and 700 m long. Here, the water creates dense clouds of spray which form multiple rainbows.
The Iguazú Falls, which are among the world's most beautiful, form part of the Parque Nacional de Iguazú, declared a Natural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
• FALLS OF MOCONA
On the border of Misiones with Brazil, the River Uruguay has incredibly beautiful falls of 3 Km in length, with falls of 5 to 12 m in height, which can be reached by launch from El Soberbio. |

• THE GRANDIOSE JESUIT MISSIONS
In the red earth, rich in oxides, the ruins of the missions bear witness to the grandiose work of the Jesuits. Here, the indigenous culture was joined to the European one without the use of force. The most important ones are those of San Ignacio Miní. Other Jesuit ruins: Candelaria, Loreto, Santa Ana y Santa María. |

• THE TOWNS IN THE JUNGLE
A large immigration from Central Europe and Scandinavia settled in this province and these people left their mark in the traditions and the traits of the native inhabitants. A clear example of this phenomenon is Oberá, where The Immigrant's National Festival is celebrated. Make a stop at the semi-precious stone fields in Wanda and in Hito de las Tres Fronteras where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay converge. |
