This province is located to the south of Misiones extending north to the Uruguay River, west to the Paraguay River and east to the River Uruguay. Corrientes is a land of strong cowboy traditions and some of the richest ecosystems in the country. “The Natural Reserve of Ibera” was created by the Government of the Province of Corrientes in 1983. The area consists of lagoons and marsh lands that are extremely rich in wildlife such as jaguars, tapirs, and many species of bird. The excursions begin from the “Colonia Carlos Pellegrini”, at the local ranger station. The majority of the rangers used to work as fishermen, giving them a unique knowledge of the local flora and fauna enabling them to guide and control poaching. There are many trails throughout the hills which provide an excellent opportunity to view the local plants and wildlife including the “caraya” monkeys.
