Where to take your family in South America
Get ready for your next family adventure!
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.
Esteros del Iberá is a wildlife-filled anomaly in the vast landscapes of Argentina, and the sight of capybaras or caimans swimming just a few metres away is one for the memory books.
Stay in the wetlands for sunset, and then embark on a nocturnal safari to spot an entirely different collection of animals including foxes, wild cats, crab-eating racoons and three species of armadillos.
Getting to Esteros del Iberá is quite a journey, but it's more than worth it - and we're here to help you plan it all.
