After a week in Colonia Azara/Apóstoles, we splurged for a night at the Posada Yasirendi on the Uruguay River. The Saturday morning drive to Posada Yasirendi was stressful. It had rained a lot the day/night before and most of the road was not paved for the 30+ minute drive. We slid around a bit but didn't get stuck. I wasn't sure we would make it to Posada Yasirendi but we did, and it was well worth the effort. This was my favorite place on our 6-week trip! Not only was the setting awesome, the accommodations were comfortable and the hosts were fantastic. In part, we had an especially great time because we were the only guests and our hosts focused all their attention on us. Regardless, I highly recommend Posada Yasirendi.
Posada Yasirendi didn't have anything to do with yerba mate, at least not directly. Of course I had some interesting conversations about yerba with the owners. I chose the place because it is on the Uruguay River. We had spent a fair amount of time along the Paraná River but not the Uruguay River. Plus, I probably wouldn't be able to do much formal work (interviews) on the weekend. Weekend is family time!

The building with our bedroom and another bedroom was linked to the living and dining room and kitchen by a walkway. Although rustic, Posada Yasireni is very comfortable. The owners put a lot of attention into the details. The wife studied tourism at Universidad del Salvador in Buenos Aires, and it shows!
All good things must come to an end. We had to leave Posada Yasirendi. I hope we have the opportunity to return someday!
