Posadas, located in the heart of Misiones Province, offers a rich variety of beverages that reflect both Argentine traditions and regional flavors. No visit to the city is complete without experiencing yerba mate, the iconic Argentine drink. Mate is more than a beverage—it’s a social ritual. In Posadas, locals enjoy it in the morning, during work breaks, or while relaxing along La Costanera, and you can join in by sipping it from a traditional gourd with a metal straw called a bombilla.
For those who enjoy fruit-based drinks, Posadas’ subtropical climate means fresh tropical fruits are abundant. You can find juices and smoothies made from passion fruit (maracuyá), mango, pineapple, and guava, either at markets or in cafes. These refreshing beverages are perfect for cooling off during the warm, humid days of the region.
Coffee culture is also alive in Posadas, with many charming cafes offering espresso, cappuccino, and local-style coffee. Enjoying a cup in the city center or along the riverfront is a great way to take a break while watching the city life unfold.
In the evenings, Posadas’ bars and restaurants offer a variety of alcoholic beverages. Argentine wines, especially Malbec and Torrontés, are widely available, as are regional craft beers. For a tropical twist, some local bars serve cocktails featuring fresh fruit juices, combining local flavors with classic drinks.
Whether you prefer traditional mate, fresh tropical juices, or a fine Argentine wine, Posadas offers something for every taste, making it a delightful destination for anyone who loves exploring drinks as part of the local culture.
