Iberá National Park

Iberá National Park is a vast wetland system in northeastern Corrientes Province with lakes, marshes, and natural channels throughout. The landscape features open water, dense reed beds, and tree-covered islands that create a mosaic of different habitats.

The area became a national park in 2018, marking a shift from agricultural use to conservation. This designation enabled new frameworks for protecting the wilderness and its wildlife.

Local people have long used the waterways for daily activities and traditional fishing practices. Today you can still see small boats moving through the channels and hear stories from those who know these lands by heart.

Visitors can reach the park through several entry points, each with information stations and local guides. The best time to go is May through September when water levels are stable and wildlife viewing is easier.

The land was once privately owned and sold in 2008 before becoming public protected land. This rescue from private use has enabled the original landscape to be restored.
