Ibera Wetlands

Untouched scenery, remote wetlands and endemic species

Welcome to Ibera Wetlands

The Ibera Wetlands are one of South America’s great untouched wildernesses, a vast expanse of native plant species, birdlife and uninhabited plains, more than twice the size of the Everglades National Park at 3.2 million acres. Found to the south of Iguazu Falls, this isolated region provides a fantastic off-the-beaten-track destination in Argentina for wildlife lovers, thanks to its protected and pristine status–having been cut off from mankind over the millennia by its own encircling, impenetrable marshlands. As a result, thousands of plant, bird, animal and insect species have been able to thrive here, making for one of the most picturesque and rewarding wildlife experiences in Argentina.
