Visit Argentina > Mesopotamia Argentina / Entre Rios, Missiones
The Argentinian region called Mesopotamia or Northeast in Argentina is an area sorrounded by rivers ( Iguazú, Paraná and Uruguay ) . It coves the provinces of Misiones, Corrientes and Entre Ríos.
It has several beautiful places to visit, being the most important ones El Palmar National Park which preserves the last examples of Yatay palm tress which are almost 800 years old, the Jesuit Missions and the Falls of Iguazú ( impressive waterfalls ). Being the last two considered an protected by the UNESCO, as a part of the Heritage of Humanity.
North of Buenos Aires, between the Río Paraná and the Río Uruguay, the humid agricultural provinces of Entre Ríos, Corrientes, and Misiones form a mix of rolling lowlands, marshes and rounded mountains that stretch north to the Paraguayan and Brazilian borders.
The semicircular waterfall at the heart of this site is some 80 m high and 2,700 m in diameter and is situated on a basaltic line spanning the border between Argentina and Brazil. Made up of many cascades producing vast sprays of water, it is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. The surrounding subtropical rainforest has over 2,000 species of vascular plants and is home to the typical wildlife of the region: tapirs, giant anteaters, howler monkeys, ocelots, jaguars and caymans.
Tourist attractiveness is chiefly based on the Iguazú Falls, San Antonio Strict Reserve, the Jesuit missions ruins, and the varied abundance of the provincial forests.
The ruins of San Ignacio Miní, Santa Ana, Nuestra Señora de Loreto and Santa María la Mayor lie at the heart of a tropical forest. They are the impressive remains of five Jesuit missions, built in the land of the Guaranis during the 17th and 18th centuries. Each is characterized by a specific layout and a different state of conservation.
Tourist attractiveness is chiefly based on the El Palmar National Park, Predelta National Park, Palacio San Martín and the Gualeguaychú Carnival.
