Alto Paraná

The Paraná shore between Jardín América and Eldorado: waterfalls, immigrant settlements and riverside towns. We surveyed 264 places: 65 to visit, 88 to eat and 111 to stay.

The Alto Paraná is the Misiones shore of the Paraná River north of San Ignacio. The towns were founded as settlements of German, Swiss and Scandinavian immigrants, and it still shows in the architecture, festivals and food.

There are easy-to-reach falls such as Salto Tabay in Jardín América and Salto Capioví, the childhood home of Che Guevara in Caraguatay, and settler museums such as the Museo Cooperativo Eldorado.
