Ibera Wetlands, Luxury Holidays in Argentina

Breathtaking waterfalls, lush wetlands, rare jungle animals and the haunting remains of Jesuit Mission culture. Argentina’s Iberá region is fast emerging as the new must-see adventure spot in Latin America. Some say it is a bit like Africa without the elephants! While that may be disputed, the Ibera wetlands can certainly be likened to Brazil’s Pantanal. The birdlife here is prolific, a twitcher’s paradise and it is also great for wildlife photography.

The Ibera Wetlands are an enormous and spectacular subtropical ecosystem. The big expanse and subtropical climate has rainfall of 60 – 80 inches per annum. This together with other ecological factors has helped to create an extremely abundant plant biomass that grows alongside swamps, marshes and lakes, all interconnected by a network of channels and streams. To spend several hours on a boat with an experienced guide spotting the amazing birdlife and animals like the capybara is something not to be missed.

The Ibera Wetlands region can be visited all year round, but between December to February it will be very hot and so try and visit at other times of the year or else be prepared to take long siestas in the afternoon if you do!
