We discovered Esteros Del Ibera while in Buenos Aires, sorting out our trip north. We aprroached Ibera from the south having spent the night in Mercedes. A very well informed lady occupying a small shop at the rear of the Mercedes bus terminal directed and arranged the whole thing. We found that althiough there is a bus service from Mercedes... More

If you're not in a hurry and are looking for some relaxation and nature, then Ibera and Carlos Pellegrini is the place! A bit hard to get to (check if you can share a ride with some people from Posadas or Mercedes) since the public transport is very limited. Once you're there it's worth it though. Take a boat out...

Although it is hard to get here (and expensive if you don't want to lose too much time), it was really worth it. After 14 days in busy Buenos Aires we loved spending a few days there. There are 2 walks you can do on your own (you don't need a guide), on one of these you can see howler... More

Very interesting and beautiful place. Trails near the visitors center are easy and very rewarding. Best to do them before sunset when the light in the forest becomes magical! Boat ride through the swamp is recommended. 2 busses a day from Mercedes to carlos pelligrini. 12:30 and 13:30 (40 peso). a tough 3 hour ride... the bus back leaves at... More

I did an extensive review of the Posada Aguape property in the Ibera Wetlands, but didn't speak that much of the reserve. It is loaded with birds, reptiles, and mammals. Our favorite mammal is the capybara, the world's largest rodent. Don't be alarmed, the capybara are docile and quite cute. They bark like dogs.....The birding is amazing. You see and... More

After more than 100 kilometers of poor dirt road from the town of Mercedes (road to Posadas is almost impassable to regular car - even for 4x4 after rain), you find yourself in paradise. Beautifully arranged and maintained municipal campsite, friendly locals and amazing wildlife in unspoiled nature. Morning Boat trip on the lagoon,took us to a real show of... More

A great place to visit the wildlife and birds of the marshes. The journey there is a not so easy but it is well worth the effort. We saw 78 species of birds in 3 days plus all the other wildlife.

What I liked: Birds, deers, alligators, capibaras, flora. In one photo shot we captured: 1 deer, 1 capybara, 2 birds and an alligator. INCREDIBLE the peace of the place. What I did not like: Getting there is not easy (good because there is no mass tourism) but is absolutely worth it!

it's difficult to get to - and if you are on public transport - it can be costly. but you don't remember the cost of everything once you arrive. we were there in may 2011 and the weather was idyllic - every day on the laguna was perfect. lots of bird watching, and other wildlife. we saw howler monkeys, carpinchos,...
