The Iberá Wetlands
The Iberá Wetlands, located in the northeastern province of Corrientes, Argentina, is a vast ecosystem covering approximately 4,633 square miles. The region’s gentle slope and dense aquatic vegetation result in slow water drainage, with water gradually flowing southwest until it drains through the Corriente and Miriñay rivers into the Paraná and Uruguay river basins. Frequent rains in the spring and fall replenish the wetland’s water levels each year. The area consists of shallow lagoons connected by channels and streams, with limited dry land, mostly low sandy hills, and a large expanse of waterlogged terrain.
Along the western edge of the Iberá Wetlands, anglers can explore endless kilometers of pristine streams, channels, and lagoons. This untouched natural reserve offers an unparalleled opportunity to observe a diverse array of wildlife. The wetlands are home to an impressive variety of species, including marsh deer, pampas deer, capybara, maned wolf, broad-snouted caiman, black caiman, yellow anaconda, giant otter, howler monkeys, and around 400 species of birds that are constantly present, making every encounter a unique experience.
