Iberá Wetlands

The Iberá Wetlands (Esteros del Iberá) in northeastern Argentina are one of South America’s most remarkable wildlife regions, forming a vast landscape of lagoons, marshes, waterways, grasslands, and gallery forests. The wetlands are renowned for their exceptional wildlife, including capybaras, caimans, marsh deer, giant anteaters, and hundreds of bird species. Ambitious rewilding projects have also brought back locally extinct species such as jaguars, while giant otters and tapirs are part of broader efforts to restore the region’s native fauna. Combining pristine landscapes, outstanding wildlife viewing, and pioneering conservation, Iberá ranks among Argentina’s most exceptional nature destinations.
