Provincia de Misiones: The Absolute Essentials

Provincia de Misiones is defined by the red earth of the Paranaense rainforest and its two UNESCO World Heritage designations. The Iguazú Falls, including the massive Devil’s Throat, mark the border with Brazil. To the south, the 17th-century Jesuit-Guaraní missions like San Ignacio Miní and Santa María la Mayor offer a glimpse into colonial history and Baroque-Guaraní architecture. The province also features the Saltos del Moconá, a unique three-kilometer-long longitudinal waterfall system along the Uruguay River.

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.
