Useful Links

This immense wetland in Corrientes province in northern Argentina - nicknamed the Argentine Pantanal - covers an area twice the size of Florida's Everglades. Accessed via the town of Mercedes, the maze of islands, lagoons, streams and marshland create a perfect habitat for many birds, mammals and reptiles. Black caiman, boa constrictor and capybara are all common, and sightings of armadillo, turtle, monkeys, deer, anaconda, otter, wildcat and maned wolf are possible.

Over 400 species of bird range from the greater rhea (the largest), to various herons, stork, eagle, parrot, snipe, woodpecker, kingfi sher, hummingbirds, magpie tanagers and thrushes.
