The Trip to Misiones - Mocona Falls - El soberbio

 








After an 8 hr trip I arrived at "El Soberbio" a town which I thought would be more rustic, but that thanks to being border with Brazil benefits from the trade of a Border city.

There is not really much to see but the town is quite tidy and sports some mega supermarkets and wine store that acomodate Brasilian who cross over for meat, wine and gas that is cheaper on this side.

It also has a a small "Costanera" or river side walk from which you can see neighbouring Brazil and the boats that go back and forth bringing people and goods. At the time I went there the border was closed due to Covid, so it probably was contraband being crossed.
There was something curious about "El Soberbio" and that was that most of the people are bilingual in Spanish and Portuguese, but some use Portuguese as their first language even though they are Argentine, something I have not seen in other cities.
