Argentina Corrientes

You will notice that there is no introduction to this section yet.

I would like to fill this gap with an introduction from a local birder [or someone who is a frequent visitor] for every on of the geographical pages. The many thousands of birders now regularly using these pages prefer to read something written by someone who can see the place from an insider's point of view. They know the best spots, not just the ones that first time overseas visitors usually visit or that are on the normal birding trip itineraries.

Each introduction carries the e-mail address of the contributor so that birders can get in touch with them if, for example, they are planning a trip [unless the contributor is unable to do this].

Please get in touch if you feel you can contribute an introduction to this page - you don't have to be an expert; I'm not!

places to stay

Irupé Lodge

http://www.irupelodge.com.ar/
Irupé Lodge is named after a rare aquatic plant of the Iberá marshlands. The small Lodge run by a Swiss-Argentine couple offers room for 12 guests. It`s one of the few tourist Lodges in the village of Carlos Pellegrini with direct access to the lake Iberá. In the heart of Corrientes province and 1000 kilometres north of Buenos Aires you will find Esteros del Iberá, the great marshlands of Argentina. The nature reserve, founded in the year 1983, covers over 13,000 km2 of marshes, lakes and islands. In the year 2002 Esteros del Iberá was put on the list of reserves of fresh water systems by the Ramsar convention, especially because of the area’s unique biodiversity and the multitude of endangered plants, birds and wildlife.

The estimated number of species identified in the Esteros del Ibera ecological system is nearly 400, including endangered species from the surrounding region that have found shelter here. Much to the surprise of several ornithologists, the nearly extinct yellow cardinal can be seen hopping around in the lettuces in our organic garden...
