Esteros del Iberá

The Esteros del Iberá are not as easy to reach as other tourist attractions in Argentina.

The best access to this wonderful ecosystem is through te cirty of Posadas, in the neighbouring province of Misiones. There you can either take a charter flight to Colonia Carlos Pellegrini, the closest town to the Esteros, rent a vehicle or take a private transport service (usually available for groups of 4 people).
If you choose ground transportation, it is important for the vehicle to be a 4x4, since only 3 out of the total 210km from Posadas to Colonia Carlos Pellegrini are on a paved route.
