"Ibera - Wildlife Paradise" Laguna Iberá by SanguiniA

Ibera is a wetland - curiously enough though, if it weren't for the multitude of crocodiles, oversized rodents and exotic birds I would have thought this might be Finland. The best base to explore the area is Colonia Carlos Pellegrini village - which is a quirky attraction in itself. A day trip will just not cut it, especially considering the long travel times on the severely corrugated roads. The wildlife here is spectacular and the ecology is very interesting - deer living on floating islands should suffice to explain how special this place really is.

• Pros:Beautiful, lots of wildlife, tranquil, not many tourists
• Cons:quite a pain to get to
• In a nutshell:Big skies, big water and plenty of wildlife.
