Esteros del Iberá Safari Trips & Tours

Esteros del Iberá is an Argentine Eden with shimmering channels and lagoons that wildlife flocks to.
Just before mountains reclaim the north-west of Argentina, Esteros del Iberá is a magnificent splash of wetlands, where the wildlife rivals the lush scenery. One of the largest wetlands in the world, across its 18,000 hectares is a fantastic network of trails to explore on foot, horseback, or idyllic kayak and boat trips. As you can imagine, the birdlife is vivid, beautiful and plentiful (around 350 species have been spotted to date), and includes the roseate spoonbill, jabiru stork and strange-tailed tyrant. This wild and water-logged landscape is also home to scores of capybara, giant anteaters, maned wolves, viscachas, marsh deer, river otters, caimans and chirruping frogs galore.
Things to do

What to do in Esteros del Iberá

Discover the unique and curious wildlife that dwells in Argentina's wetlands, the Gran Parque Iberá. Have your binoculars ready to spot around 350 species of birds including roseate spoonbill, strange-tailed tyrant and whistling heron. As you explore the reserve's myriad hiking trails, you may just spy maned wolves, giant river otters, caimans and the cute capybara in their numbers. If you're feeling extra adventurous, take a dip in the Balneario Cacique Ira 'pool' (there's a net to keep piranhas from joining you).
