This watery Eden in northern Argentina is a natural paradise of flora and fauna. A picturesque and peaceful territory of waterways, marshes, lagoons and swamps is the vast ecosystem that forms Argentina’s 195.094 hectares Iberá Wetlands. The second largest wetland system in the world and home to 4,000 plant and animal species that make up 30% of the country’s biodiversity, Iberá has been successfully rewilded and remains one of the largest protected areas in Argentina.
This untouched wilderness can be explored in many ways, from invigorating game drives and night safari walks to leisurely kayak paddles and other boating excursions. Spot the iconic caiman, capybara, howler monkey, giant otter, maned wolf, giant anteater, and of course, the elusive jaguar, which was recently and successfully reintroduced to the wetlands following a 70-year local extinction.
