In the heart of Corrientes province
and 1000 kilometres north of Buenos Aires
you will find Esteros del Iberá,
the great marshlands of Argentina.
The nature reserve, founded in the year 1983,
covers over 13,000 km² of marshes, lakes
and islands. In the year 2002 Esteros del
Iberá was put on the list of reserves
of fresh water systems by the Ramsar
convention, especially because of the area’s
unique biodiversity and the multitude of endangered
plants, birds and wildlife. Aboriginals lived,
fished and hunted on the islands before the
Europeans settled in the lake area. In later
days it was the “mariscadores”
who took up these old practices; today some
of these men work as park rangers.
One of the over sixty lakes is Laguna
Iberá, which in Guaraní
– the language of the natives –
means sparkling waters. It’s a unique
starting-point for excursions through the
reserve. For any lover of wildlife
Iberá is just as overwhelming
as for photographers and natural scientists.
The intact environment is home and paradise
to hundreds of species of birds,
caimans, capybaras, marsh deer, otters, maned
wolves, wild cats, howling monkeys, skunks,
anacondas, piranhas and many other animals.
If you’ve dreamt of escaping civilization,
getting in contact with untouched nature and
being face to face with wild animals –
Iberá will make your
dreams come true.
