"Posadas" a Posadas Travel Page by abelliot

This is the bridge from Posadas to Encarnacion, Paraguay spanning the River Parana. The River Parana flows south and passes within a few kilometers of Silvia's hometown of Escobar before flowing into the Atlantic. It is the second longest river in South America after the Amazon.

The river is a recreational area for the city as you can see from the many sailboats here. The temperature was about 85 degrees and muggy on this spring day.

There is also a tour on the river that will take a person from Posadas to the Falls at Iguazu. It is 300us per night and is typically a 15 night journey. The trip offers trips to local sites on the journey and also trips up other rivers to see areas only visible via boat. The trip finals at the Iguazu Falls Park where the final night is spent at the Iguazu Sheraton, a 5 star hotel that costs about 200 per night or so for Americans.
