There are three stops you can make, in three provinces: Entre Ríos, Corrientes and Misiones - driving along Route 14, close to the border with Uruguay and Brazil. The first stop welcomes thousands of tourists willing to dive into its famous hot springs, the best ones are located in Colón, Federación and Villa Elisa. Entre Ríos also rose to world fame for its Gualeguaychú Carnival, a colorful celebration of dance and music that goes around the world. Finally, El Palmar National Park is home to unique species of yatay palm trees and native fauna (capybaras and viscachas). 

Corrientes hosts the Esteros del Iberá, an ecological reserve displaying nature, fresh air and wildlife. It is also one of the most important freshwater wetlands in the world. Here, activities such as boat rides, horseback riding and safaris can be enjoyed, to capture the essence of each local species with our camera lens. 

Finally, Misiones not only showcases the majestic Iguazú Falls with its iconic Garganta del Diablo [Devil’s Throat], but also ideal road journeys to soak up the jungle. Still along Route 14, you can visit Oberá and Aristóbulo del Valle, two excellent spots for local tourism, and tour other must-see places in the area such as the Saltos de Moconá [Mocona Falls], the Jesuit Missions - declared a World Heritage Site- and the Salto Encantado Provincial Park. 

By switching to Route 12 in Posadas, the capital city, you reach the other end of the province and one of the country’s iconic wonders: Iguazú National Park which hosts the Iguazú Falls.
