Description of Argentina holiday, Ibera Wetlands & Iguazu Falls
On this Argentina holiday you’ll experience the Ibera Wetlands and Iguazu Falls on a five day tailor made journey that takes you away from the main tourist trail. In the Ibera Wetlands you’ll tour the swamps, marshes and lagoons where a wide variety of wildlife make their home, from pig-like peccaries to capybaras to armadillos. In Iguazu National Park you’ll visit both the Argentinean and Brazilian sides of the Iguazu Falls, whose beauty you can appreciate from the many walking trails and boat trips.
What makes this tour the most interesting, perhaps, is your accommodation. You’ll enjoy traditional Argentinean food and hospitality with stays at local estancias – old, usually family run establishments, home to sweeping grounds, horses and gauchos. They are a fascinating insight into Argentinean life and an experience that you’re sure to remember for a long time to come.

Planet
As a local Argentina B Corp Travel Company, we hold a deep appreciation for the Earth's natural wonders and understand the importance of their preservation. However, we believe that sustainability alone is insufficient. Travel, in our view, is a potent instrument for creating a positive impact on the destinations we explore.CARBON REDUCTION
-Slow Travel Through Remote Natural Areas
The journey combines Iberá Wetlands and Iguazú Falls, encouraging multi-night stays in each destination rather than frequent relocations, allowing deeper immersion in nature.
-Nature-Based, Low-Impact Experiences
Activities such as boat safaris in Iberá, walking trails at Iguazú Falls, and optional horseback riding along the marshes prioritize human-powered or low-emission exploration.
-Say Bosque Regeneration Commitment
Through Say Bosque initiative, each journey contributes directly to native forest restoration projects in Patagonia, embedding carbon reduction and regeneration into the cost of travel itself. In collaboration with ReforestArg, we plant ten trees for every traveler to contribute to the cherished landscapes we adore.
Twice a year, we journey to Cholila, Chubut – Argentine Patagonia – to plant these trees, playing our part in preserving native forests, bolstering the local community, and giving back to Mother Earth.
