Iguazu & Iberá
7 Nights / 8 Days
The Iberá Natural Reserve is one of the largest freshwater reservoirs on the South American continent. It is the largest protected area in Argentina, with 1.3 million hectares of pristine wilderness. Also referred to as Esteros del Iberá, the Ibera Wetlands stays true to its name with a spectacular offering of streams, marshes, lagoons and swamps that cover approximately 14 % of the Corrientes Province. The wetlands are home to a staggering 4 000 plant and animal species, which make up 30 % of Argentina’s biodiversity. The indigenous communities of the wetlands inhabited the area as early as in the 9th century. They called the place I–Berá “shining waters.” Here, visitors are introduced to a range of wildlife such as capybaras, various deer species, giant otters and raucous howler monkeys; to name but a few!
Trip Highlights:
- The Majestic Iguazu Falls
- The Fascinating Wetlands
Day 1-2: The capital city of Argentina, Buenos Aires offers a pulsating and eclectic atmosphere of sophistication. It is here that local customs are infused by the proud traditions of football and the sultry tango. Buenos Aires is dotted with many fine eateries, a thriving arts and culture scene, packed nightclubs and world-class accommodation.
Day 2-5: The second-largest wetlands in the world, the Iberá Wetlands are a very important freshwater reservoir of lagoons, stagnant lakes, and swamps with the fascinating gaucho and Guaraní culture. This captivating region boasts a staggering 4 000 plant and animal species, which make up 30% of Argentina’s biodiversity. Whether kayaking among families of capybaras, fishing for dorado from a boat or galloping on horseback through the shallows among flocks of exotic bird species, the Iberá Wetlands offer endless wonder. Wildlife includes giant otters, howler monkeys, marsh deer, wolves, alligators, capybaras and around 350 species of birds, to name but a few
Day 5-8: The Iguazu (also called Iguassu) Falls is composed of 275 separate cascades, which make it the largest broken waterfall in the world. Set amongst lush forests, which are home to small mammals and hundreds of different species of birds, this is a truly breath-taking spectacle as thousands of liters of water tumble down the steps of the Parana Plateau. A highlight of any visit to the Iguazu Falls is a stop at Devil’s Throat, a narrow u-shaped chasm that offers excellent photographic opportunities.
Day 8: Today, after another wholesome breakfast, you will be collected for your tour of the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls. The vast majority of the falls lie on the Argentinian side, with the Brazilian side being more of a jungle experience. To truly take in the majesty of the Falls, a trip to both sides is highly recommended; with an up-close-and-personal (and soaked) interaction from the Argentinian side combined with the opportunity to stand back and admire the Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian side. Following your tour, wave goodbye to Argentina, as you are collected for your homeward flight
