What to see
Waterfront
Part of the history, culture and the most emblematic postcards of Posadas are displayed along its 10 km waterfront, from Costa Sur beach to El Brete.
Jardim botânico e cascata
Além dos balneários, você pode visitar o Jardim Botânico Alberto Roth; uma reserva ecológica de 11 hectares que protege a flora nativa e algumas espécies exóticas da região. Há também um jardim de orquídeas, uma fonte e três trilhas.
Um pouco mais adiante, o Parque La Cantera se destaca por sua cascata artificial de 15 metros de altura com vista para o rio.
Mural and viewpoint
Continuing along the waterfront there is a mural made by more than 50 artists from Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay, which tells the regional history from the time of the Guaraní People and the Jesuits until today. Another stop, in front of the former train station, is the metal pier that spans more than 60 metres into the river.
Monument to Andresito and urban waterfall
Finally, there is the monument to caudillo Andresito Guacurarí, one of the most photographed spots in Posadas, and the General Frías painted staircase, also known as the “urban waterfall” because when it rains it looks like a waterfall.
Beaches
Costa Sur beach has good infrastructure and facilities, and it is a great place to practise nautical activities. On the other end, El Brete is the beach that lies closest to the city. Five kilometres off the coast of Posadas, Del Medio Island has boomed in recent years. On weekends, many people go there by boat to spend the day outdoors.
Itá Stream Urban Reserve
Located 200 metres from El Brete, this reserve invites you to immerse yourself in nature in the heart of the city. Its 2 hectares are home to more than 100 bird species, as well as numerous butterflies, capybaras, common cavies, coypus and Argentine black and white tegus.
Nautical activities
On the Paraná River you can practice canoeing, enjoy boat and jet ski rides and fish.
