How to get there
Domestic carriers connect
Buenos Aires with Posadas, the capital of Misiones, and Cataratas del Iguazú. A week’s car rental costs around $500. Ground operator Guayrá offers four-wheel-drive vehicles with
a driver from $650 for multi-leg journeys across the province (www.guayra.com.ar).
What to do
The best wildlife viewing is on private land adjoining Misiones’s nature reserves. Trees are in
fruit during the September-
November spring and April-May autumn, drawing migratory birds and large concentrations of
butterflies.
