Iberá Wetlands is a wilderness paradise and the most bio diverse ecosystem in Argentina. Travelers from around the globe visit just to explore, bird watch and observe wildlife.

We will take to you back in time to experience the esterero way. Swim through channels while holding your horse by the tail and experience the wetlands and its biodiversity in a truly unique fashion! Throughout the water experience our powerboat will follow for both safety or if someone would like to end their swim early.

First day horse swim: You will leave the La Alondra hotel at around 9 am in a 4×4 truck for about 20 minutes until you reach the port where the boats are and from there in about half an hour the cowboys of the place await you with the horses. An adaptation lap is made with the saddled horses, then the saddle is removed to enter the water (bareback). The sections you do are approximately 40 minutes. Then you have a complete lunch with the drinks you want (all included in the price) and then you leave on horseback, crossing hills and arrive at the Iberá Rugua cabin where they have dinner and sleep.

Second day: You have breakfast and start the return on horseback (saddled) to the port (aprox. 1.5 hours) where you will take the boat that takes you to the place where the 4×4 trucks await you to return to the hotel. By the night you will have dinner and the next morning after the breakfast you do the check out.

* The hotel La Alondra`i is an old typical house of the area, located in a picturesque corner, which has been meticulously restored and converted into a hotel, combining warmth and comfort without losing the essence of the village.

* Ibera Rugua is a rustic cabin equipped with all the necessary comforts.
