Misiones province & Ibera Wetlands – Nature & Wildlife Tour

We plan to stay 3 nights (flexible tour) at Puerto Valle Lodge.  This means that we’ll have 2 full days to explore the marshlands and its attractions.  During your stay at the lodge you’ll have an amazing wildlife experience, sharing your days with the vast number of species that inhabit the wetlands, such as the Capibaras, Caimans, Ñandúes, Marsh Deer’s among many other species.

There are different kinds of activities that we can enjoy, such as:

• Wildlife safari to discover animals such as alligators, capybaras, birds, etc.. at National Park Ibera.
• Excursion to Laguna Valle.
• Sailing in small boats between the channels around the marshlands.
• Navigation on the big Parana River.
• Horseback riding
• Kayaking Parana River
• Gastronomic experiences at cultural activities at the Ranch (Estancia).

After breakfast, private transfer to Saltos del Moconá, with a stop over at the Jesuitic Missions of San Ignacio de Miní.

This was one of the different missions built in the 17th Century by the Jesuits.  The ruins are one of the best well-maintained in the area, and have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.  We’ll stop for about 2 hours and learn about the history of the Jesuits,  the Guaraníes (indigenous people), and how they interacted among each other.

We’ll continue then toward the Mocona Falls, where we’ll stay for 3 nights at the Don Mocona Virgin Lodge.

This will take us a full day in total (approx. 340 km).

Near to the city of El Soberbio (also Misones province), we can find the picturesque lodge of Mocona Virgin Lodge, where we’ll stay for 3 nights.

The idea is to explore the area, particularly the Mocona Falls (Saltos del Moconá).  These waterfalls are quite impressive, not for its height, but for its lenght:  it runs paralel to the river for about 3 km!

The geographic formation of the river bed on this section lies on two different levels. As a result, when the level of the water is good enough (which we should check in advance), we can see how the water  from one side falls to the other side producing a natural waterfall for about 2 or 3 km. This is very impressive to see!

Private transfer from El Soberbio to Puerto Iguazú (320 km).  Rest of the day to enjoy at your preferred lodge in Iguazu. We suggest Loi Suites Iguazu, at the Iryapú Reserve.

This itinerary, which is flexible (and can be adapted to your needs and preferences), is designed in a way that you can spend your last 3 nights in the area of Iguazu Falls.

The idea is to visit the Argentinian side of the falls (where are most of the waterfalls), the brazilian side, and to explore other spots such as “La Lorenza”.

La Lorenza is a place by the Parana River where you will visit the house of a local couple that work on conservation, and share a profound love for nature. The house is in the heart of the jungle, and there are a lot of different things you can do and enjoy around (we can adapt this to your convenience). We invite you to explore this place here: La Lorenza Iguazu.

Transfer to the airport and end of our tour in the province of Misiones!
