Colonia Carlos Pellegrini

Ibera Wetlands is a nature reserve 1000 km north of Buenos Aires. Swamp area of 13,000 km². With the richest fauna of all the country: Caimans, capybaras, swamp deer, howler monkeys, anacondas, maned wolves, armadillos, and greater rhea. All of them at sight for the visitors when doing excursions by boat on foot/horse back. A true paradise for nature lovers, birders, eco tourists and travellers looking for relax or the ultimate gaucho experience.

A walk along a defined path with a guide to see wildlife (mainly birds).

Even if you are short of your own means of transportation, the walk along the road from Carlo Pellegrini to the Natural Park Head Offices across the bridge over the Ibera' is really easy and enjoyable, especially at sunset. Once there, you can take the marked walk inside the small pocket of trees where a colony of howler monkeys lingers. They tend to show if you are silent enough. It is a small walk, but you will get fascinated by everything is around you. Totally free and one of the things you will remember!

Best way to see & take pics of local wildlife! Many caimans (2 species: Caiman yacare & broaded snouted Caiman), capivaras, marsh deer and hundreds of birds (herons, ducks, jacanas, cormorans, flycatchers, blackbirds and more). There 2 places to go: Aº Corriente (SWest) and Aº Miriñay (SEast), both very interesting. It is better starting early in the morning, or in the evening; when animals are more active.

Renting a kayak at the camping (US$15 per hour). Maximum passagers per kayak: 3. Remember that at 19:00 the park closes, so you have to have returned 10 minutes before

Ride on horse through palm tree forest and swamps. Nice experience for rookies and experts riders
