Wetlands and Ecotourism
The Esteros del Iberá make up one of the most important tropical wetlands, according to its extension and the species that inhabit it. Located in the center of the province of Corrientes, it maintains a close relationship with the Paraná River, whose ancient channels modeled the landscape, then appropriated by the morphology of the Iberá. Its water system consists of a network of estuaries, bathed and lagoons woven by canals, to become a diffuse system with sandy loins, which drains through the River Corrientes.

Iberá means "shining waters" in the Guarani language. Its importance as the second wetland in the world caused it to be declared a national park in 2018, one of the newest parks. It seeks to rebuild ecosystems of forests and grasslands and reintroduce species that had disappeared, such as the yaguareté, the anteater, the tapir, the pampas deer, among others. The commitment is to ecotourism and local development derived from conservation.
