Yverá Wetlands, Ramsar protected wetland in Corrientes Province, Argentina
The Iberá Wetlands extend across 13,000 square kilometers of lakes, marshes, and waterways in northeastern Argentina, forming South America's second-largest water reservoir.
Indigenous Guaraní communities established settlements near these waters during the 9th century, naming the region I-Berá to reference the water's reflective quality.
Local inhabitants maintain traditional practices of water navigation through the wetlands using wooden canoes carved from native tree trunks.
The wetlands receive visitors through multiple entry points, with Colonia Carlos Pellegrini serving as the main gateway for guided wildlife observation tours.
Recent conservation efforts have successfully reintroduced jaguars to the wetlands after a 70-year absence, restoring the natural predator-prey balance.

Argentina extends across multiple climate zones and contains numerous geological formations. The country encompasses high mountain ranges in the Andes, salt flats in the northwest, rock formations in Patagonia, and extensive grasslands. These areas display the region's geological history and the adaptation of human settlements to different environments. The sites include volcanic craters, thermal springs, canyons, and historic villages. Many of these locations lie away from main routes and require several hours of travel. The regions document pre-Columbian cultures, colonial history, and traditional ways of life that continue today.
The Argentine landscape contains canyons, salt flats and wetlands. The Jaramillo Petrified Forest holds prehistoric fossils. Red sandstone cliffs rise in Quebrada de las Conchas. The national parks contain lakes, mountains and archaeological sites of indigenous peoples. The Esteros del Iberá provide habitat for caimans and capybaras.
