More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the shaded pier as the lagoon inhales a humid, green breath; capybaras graze at the water’s edge and a guide calls out a distant bird song. The first two days are slow and intimate at an estancia on the edge of the Iberá Marshlands — boat channels, cattail-lined lagoons and low-lying islands that move with the light. Then the trip turns north: a long drive through Corrientes and Misiones, ending in the thunder of Iguazú, where basalt cliffs pour 275 separate drops into a mist that dares you closer.
