Colonia Carlos Pellegrini

Colonia Carlos Pellegrini is a small municipality on the edge of the Iberá Wetlands in Corrientes Province, Argentina. The town sits at around 68 meters above sea level and serves as a base for exploring the wildlife and landscapes of the surrounding swamps and lagoons.

The municipality was founded in 1927 as part of territorial expansion in the San Martín Department region. This settlement played a role in developing the area while allowing the surrounding wetlands to eventually be recognized for conservation.

The community here is closely tied to wetland conservation, with residents and lodge workers sharing daily experiences around wildlife and the natural environment. Local life revolves around this connection, where nature observation is woven into ordinary routines rather than kept separate.

The town is accessible by connecting roads from Mercedes, though it remains somewhat remote. Visitors should be aware that services are limited, and the warmer months offer the best conditions for spotting birds and wildlife in the nearby wetlands.

The region is home to more than 350 bird species, many found only here or in very few other places. This exceptional concentration of bird life makes the location a destination for serious bird watchers and nature enthusiasts.
