Rewilding Argentina

From 7150 PP

Overview

Iberá Wetlands to Iguazu Falls

Discover Argentina’s capital and wild northeast on a luxury Latin American safari.

Begin in the ever-intoxicating city of Buenos Aires, staying in a charming boutique hotel in one of its grandest historic neighbourhoods, with a privately guided culinary tour and perhaps a tango lesson to get you into the rhythm of the capital.

Then explore the incredible diversity of Iberá National Park, the world’s second-largest wetland system, whose mosaic of ecosystems hosts fabulous wildlife that you can discover on horseback, walks, game drives and boating trips. Your first estancia lodge, Rincón del Socorro, is at the heart of Kris and Doug Tompkins’ immense rewilding project here, reintroducing enigmatic species such as giant anteaters and jaguars, which you are directly supporting with your stay.

End at the truly epic Iguazú Falls, exploring the mighty waterfall system and surrounding rainforest with a private guide on an array of exciting excursions from the fabulous Awasi.

Days 1 — 2

Buenos Aires culture and cuisine

There’s no better introduction to Argentina than Buenos Aires. Take in handsome neoclassical and art nouveau architecture along tree-lined avenues under glass-clad skyscrapers, cobbled side streets, historic parks and buzzing nightlife. Its mixture of distinct neighbourhoods reflect its past as a country of immigrants – mostly from Spain and Italy but also from across Europe and the Middle East – that has resulted in something unique.

Days 3 — 6

Iberá safari

Fly to the northeast of the country and drive on to Rincón del Socorro, a beautiful estancia sitting in its own 12,000-hectare reserve on the southeastern edge of the Iberá Wetlands. Formerly a cattle ranch, it – along with 140,000 additional acres – was purchased by the Doug and Kris Tompkins’ Conservation Land Trust (CLT) with the mission of restoring habitat and biodiversity supported by ecotourism. In 2015, this was donated to the Argentine government, creating the largest national park in the country.

Wetland wildlife

Drive north skirting the national park to your next stop, Puerto Valle, a charming 1868 ranch with views across a wide section of the Paraná River looking to Paraguay. Enjoy more opportunities to spot the Iberá’s wildlife on drives, bike rides and from horseback.

Iguazú Falls

Continue upriver by road to the Brazilian border. Here, cutting through the rainforest before its confluence with the Paraná, is one of the natural world’s most awe-inspiring sites – Iguazú Falls. Meaning ‘big river’ in the local Guaraní language, some 250 individual falls and cataracts make this the largest waterfall system on earth.
