Day 3

Buenos Aires to Iberá Wetlands | Night Wildlife Safari

Arrive at the airport where you will be met by your guide and chauffeur and transferred to your accommodation, a private reserve located within the Ibera National Park, surrounded by the Provincial Ibera Reserve.
Ibera Wetlands is the second largest wetland of South America, with an extension of 12.000 km2 that guards both great biodiversity and a rich cultural heritage. The region emerges as a combination of different landscapes: in the lowest areas, the rain deposits its water in the wetlands and ponds that gave it its name; while the higher areas are characterized by small remnants of Paranaense jungles, palmar groves and never-ending grasslands briefly interrupted by small bundles of trees.
About Rewilding Argentina Foundation & Rewilding Experience
Rewilding Experience started from The Conservation Land Trust, a social company that reinvests its profits to help conservation and ecological restoration projects, which the Rewilding Argentina Foundation carries out following the legacy of Douglas and Kristine Tompkins.
Rewilding offers the possibility of visiting the different landscapes of Iberá through experiences in close contact with nature made all the more spectacular by being in connection with the environment. Staying at one of the properties is a way for guests to become part of the fauna restoration projects that Rewilding Argentina has started and continues to execute to this day with great success; all the while experiencing the local culture and remaining in close contact with nature.
Afternoon at leisure. Relax at your accommodation surrounded by natural wildlife that leisurely wanders around the park.
At night you will join a nocturnal safari which will make possible a magnificent encounter with a very active wildlife that takes advantage of the cool nights. It is possible to see vizcachas, owls, and even be surprised by an elegant aguara-guazu. On clear nights, the Milky Way is especially clear thanks to the absence of lights and clean air.
