The lodge

The wild heart of Argentina

The Iberá Wetlands are one of the largest and most biodiverse freshwater ecosystems on the planet — home to over 350 bird species, marsh deer, capybara, caimans and free-roaming monkeys. Once devoid of jaguars for 70 years, Iberá is now the stage for one of the most ambitious rewilding projects in the Americas: a story comparable, as BBC Travel put it, to the return of the wolf to Yellowstone.

El Tránsito is a century-old estancia founded in 1921, reimagined as a luxury lodge within the Carambola Portal — the most accessible and storied gateway to Iberá National Park.

La calidez y amabilidad de cada una de las personas que trabajan allí. Personal de recepción, chef, equipo de cocina, personal de limpieza, los guias, las personas que realizan los traslados. Todo el equipo, cuidadoso de cada detalle y siempre con una sonrisa. El hotel es muy lindo y confortable emplazado en un entorno natural mágico. La gastronomía es excelente. Gracias por todo.

Everything from the friendly service to the delicious food and the very well organized activities was truly outstanding. And the hotel premises are already worth 5 stars by themselves. Having travelled a lot around the world, we have rarely been to such a great hotel. Absolute hidden gem.

 Verificada Absolut empfehlenswert! Um die Flora und Fauna des Iberá zu erleben ist das Hotel El Tránsito die bei weitem beste und perfekte Wahl. Sehr schöne und luxuriöse Zimmer. Sehr gutes und abwechslungsreiches Essen, sowohl morgens, mittags, abends und ein Snack am Nachmittag. Die Organisation der Ausflüge ist großartig. Der gesamte Service extrem freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns unfassbar wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Liebe Grüße an das gesamte Team!

 Verificada Once in a lifetime - fantastic! This was an absolutely magical place to visit. We had 3 wonderful days - and amazing new experiences every day. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the food was just fantastic ( 4 meals a day and drinks all included) and the excursions were all so interesting and full of wildlife and birds. It is tricky to get to but SOOOO worth it. Felt like a once in a lifetime experience. I can’t recommend it highly enough. If possible it will enrich your experience if you speak some Spanish but we managed fine without any!

 Verificada Una experiencia única en un lugar único El Transito es un lugar único en medio del Parque Provincial Esteros de Iberá. Es una estancia hermosa, super cuidada, con habitaciones amplias y super cómodas. Lo bueno del servicio es que es todo all inclusive con 4 comidas y todas las excursiones incluidas (mas de 10 opciones). Y lo increíble del Servicio y la experiencia son las PERSONAS que atienden el lugar, nada esta librado al azar, están en todos los detalles haciendo que la estadía sea impecable. Dahiana, Julio, Amalia y Salvador al frente y una especial mención a Hugo que todos los días revisaba conmigo mi menú que era super restrictivo. Amé todo!

 Verificada Una Joyita de nuestro país! Visitamos el hotel en familia! Está en el Portal Carambola, cerca del Pueblo de Concepción..en el medio de los esteros!! Desde la llegada, la gente es super atenta y cálida, y la atención es totalmente personalizada para cada huésped, para las comida, en la diaria y tmb en la planificación de todas las actividades y excursiones! Realizamos varias actividades junto a los guías, que fueron muy amables y además te permiten conocer la historia y situación del lugar! Vimos carpinchos, yacarés, ciervo de los pantanos y una gran variedad de aves. Navegamos en canoa a tiro de caballo y cabalgamos por los esteros con el agua hasta las rodillas!! Recorrimos los esteros en kayak y lanchas y tmb de noche! Y almorzamos en un refugio típico de los habitantes de la zona.... La comida es de primera calidad: cada plato es distinto y la carta cambia diariamente, con toque bien casero y del lugar!! y con las bebidas tmb incluido...junto con las habitaciones super cómodas! Te avisan el menu cada dia antes y con ellos arreglas cualq preferencia, o cambio o punto de la carne x ej! Te permite conectar con la naturaleza sin tener que preocuparse por nada más que disfrutar, ya que esta todo incluido: traslados y transfer del aeropuerto, todas las actividades y excursiones, bien coordinadas y planificadas con los horarios de las comidas, te olvidas de todo... con atardeceres increíbles!
