About this experience
Tradition Venturing into the Esteros del Iberá is diving into a profound horizon, wheregrasslands and reeds create a landscape that seems to stretch to infinity. This unique journey, which takes place at Portal Carambola in Concepción, Corrientes, guides us through one of the richest and most diverse ecosystems in the world,where nature is displayed in its fullest expression. For 3 nights and 4 days, the Iberá journey invites us to explore these lands on horseback, crossing marshy areas and navigating lagoons and estuaries by canoe, following routes traversed bygenerations. This trip is a deep immersion into Guarani culture and tradition, where every stepaims to preserve customs and respect ancestral practices. The authenticity of this experience lies in its connection with the environment and history, allowing us to understand and appreciate the wisdom of those who have lived in harmony withnature for centuries. But the Esteros del Iberá are not just a destination of unparalleled natural beauty; they are also an example of conservation and sustainability. This journey is part of the conceptual path of the Rewilding Foundation, a collaboration aimed at protecting and preserving the natural wealth of one of the largest aquifers and reserves of fauna and flora in the world. Through this partnership, the goal is not only to enjoy the environment but also to contribute to its preservation, ensuring that future generations can experience the same natural wonder. The Iberá journey is not a conventional tourist route; it is an opportunity to connect with the most authentic aspects of the Corrientes landscape. Here, nature is not just observed but lived, breathed, and felt in every corner. This trip allows us to disconnect from routine and reconnect with the essential, in an environment where time seems to stand still and life flows with a serenity that only the Esteros del Iberá can offer.
