The Ibera wetlands are one of Argentina’s best destinations for wildlife spotting.

They are currently the focus of several re-wilding projects, including one aimed at reintroducing a population of jaguars. They are also home to otters, caimans, owler monkeys and a plethora of bird species.

The area is remote and can be reached from Posadas airport with a long transfer or a short journey in a small plane. It combines well with a stay in Iguazu and accommodation is in working estancias.

Have a look at the lodges we can offer and some of the activities that you can enjoy.

 

Boat rides
Boat rides are great in order to reach deep into the wetlands to areas unreachable through dry land.

It is here you will find the true inhabitants of the marshes: capybaras, marsh deers, otters, broad snouted caimans, yacare caimans, and a broad variety of aquatic birds.
Horseback riding
All our lodges in the Ibera can offer outings by horseback riding.

You will be led by experienced guides who will not only show you the best natural spots but also provide invaluable insights into the history of the region and the many re-wilding projects taking place nowadays.
Birdwatching
The wetlands are a birdwatcher paradise. From September to mid-April you can find 350 species of birds due to immigration.

Many of the lodges' birdwatching circuits were designed by professionals so you can be sure you will not miss any highlights.

Normally this activity is on foot, by trekking through the savannah and marshes.
Day and Night Safaris
During your stay in a lodge in the Ibera you will be able to enjoy as many outings in search of the fauna that inhabits the region. Animals like ostriches, foxes, capybaras, brocket deer, marsh deer and viscachas, among others.

Lodges like Rincon del Socorro offer night safaris into the wetlands too. At night you will be able to see different species like viscachas, eagle owls and you may be surprised by a fancy maned wolf. On clear nights, the Milky Way can be clearly seen due to the absence of lights and the clean air.
