The Trip to Misiones - Posadas - where to eat "Itakua"

Most of the better restos in Posadas are located along the riverside walk or "Costanera". On one of my daily sunset photo wals I spotted "Itakua" which means "Cave " in Guarany Language.

The place is quite nice and has an outdoor deck with wee to the river, they specialize in pizza but also have a variety of fish and meat dishes, when I was there they had a discount on weekday evenings with 40% off on pizza and drinks, which definitely caught my eye, since I paid less than the cost of a greasy burger, so I wnt there twice and was very satisfied both times.

The Trip to Misiones - Posadas - where to stay

In Posadas you will find a range of very fancy Hotels for a cheap price but with the coldness typical of those establishments.
I generally crash at Hostels not only cuz they are cheap, or that I just need a clean bed and shower cuz I spend all day roaming around, but also for the intel provided by local people that own those places.
Last time I was in Posadas most of the Hostels where closed due to COVID, I was referred to " Como en Casa Hostel" located at Junin 2129, close to Plaza San Martin which is one of Posada´s main parks.
Gotta tell you that is pretty basic but comfy and its owner Mauricio is a great guy who set me up with contacts to all the places that I wanted to visit.

The Trip to Misiones - Posadas - La Costanera

Posada's biggest feature is definitely its River side walk or Costanera, which spans the whole peninsula shaped city.

At its peak at sunset or sunrise in that order, or for a walk with some breeze from the Parana River at anytime of the day.

The Trip to Misiones - Posadas

As I said Poasdas is Misione´s province´s capital, warm year round, you probably wanna go there in between April and September which are the coldest months in Argentina, but not in Misiones.

I was there once in August and now in September and the weather was great. The city sits at the edge of the Parana River and can be very humid, on the other side of the river is Paraguay and the city of Encarnacion.

Posadas is the larges city of the province with 300k inhabitants and is the seat of the administration of the province. The city was originally founded as part of a series of Jesuit city´s in the area to evangelize the natives and create trade routes.

The city is very ethnically diverse with its native Guarani, polish, Ukrainian, Spanish and even Japanese and  Laotians.

the trip to Misiones- how to get there

Misiones is one of Argentina´s northern provinces home to the famous Iguazu falls, and border with Paraguay and Brazil.
You can go there by land or air, even by boat if you have the time.

I flew on Air Bondy, Argentina´s only low cost Airline, if you time it right you can get real good deals.

After a two hour flight you land at Posadas airport, which is not far from the citya nad you can catch a public transport bus that gets you there in 20 minutes.
