Falls, a unique spectacle in the world. Jesuit
Missions
Many ruins of the ancient Jesuit missions
- some of which have been covered by the jungle - are located near Posadas.
The most well-known ruins are in San Ignacio Miní, 56 Km away from
the province’s capital. The ones in Candelaria, Loreto, Santa Ana and Santa
María are also very interesting.
Corrientes
and Resistencia
These are two interesting cities.
Corrientes, next to the Paraná river, where Graham Greene
set his novel "The Honorary Consul"; and Resistencia, capital city of
the Province of Chaco and connected to Corrientes through the General Belgrano
bridge, boasts more than 200 hundred urban sculptures, and the National Wood Carving
Fair held in July.
Rosario
The
city of Rosario lies on the banks of the Paraná River in
the Province of Santa Fe. It has developed into an industrial and commercial
center and destination for a significant number of people on business.
On its
riverside promenade stands the Monumento Nacional a la Bandera (National Monument
to the Flag), where the Argentine National Flag was raised for the first time.
Parque Independencia has a magnificent artificial lake, statues, a racecourse,
and the Provincial History Museum.
