Waterfalls in Misiones Province

Spectacular Waterfalls

Misiones is home to the world-renowned Iguazú Falls, but the province contains hundreds of other cascades shaped by the volcanic basalt terrain. These waterfalls range from the unique three-kilometer-long longitudinal Saltos del Moconá to urban drops like Salto Capioví. Many are protected within provincial parks like Salto Encantado, featuring drops of over 60 meters, while others offer natural stone pools suitable for swimming, such as Salto Tabay and Salto Krysiuk.
