Isla Cambyretá Natural Reserve Adventures

Isla Cambyretá Natural Reserve is located in the Paraná River within the Itapúa Department of Paraguay. It is a significant natural island ecosystem formed by the dynamics of the river, featuring aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats, floodplain forests, and wetlands. The reserve protects vital habitats for numerous species of fish, mammals, amphibians, and over 200 bird species, many of which are important for conservation. The island plays a critical role as a breeding and feeding ground for native wildlife and serves as a natural corridor for migratory birds. In addition to its ecological importance, Isla Cambyretá has cultural and historical value for local indigenous communities and traditional fishermen who rely on the area sustainably. Visitors to the reserve can experience pristine natural scenery with opportunities for birdwatching, guided boat tours, photographic safaris, and low-impact hiking in limited accessible zones. The reserve is a less developed protected area, emphasizing conservation, environmental education, and research. Its remote location and dependence on water access means visitor numbers remain low, ensuring minimal disturbance to wildlife. For nature lovers and eco-tourists, Isla Cambyretá offers a glimpse into the subtropical river island ecosystem of the Paraná River basin while promoting responsible tourism practices.
