Experiences included in your stay

Nine ways to discover Iberá

● All included in your rate
On the water
Boat excursion on the Carambolita stream, Iberá Wetlands, Carambola Portal
Approx. 2 hours

Boat Excursion

Navigation along the Carambola stream on our own vessel, the only one of its kind in the portal. The route includes stops for spotting caimans, capybara, marsh deer and a wide variety of birds. Departs from Puerto Juli Cué, 10 minutes from the lodge.

Included
Kayak along the Carambolita stream, Iberá Wetlands, Argentina
Approx. 2 hours

Kayak

Paddling in silence along the Carambolita stream: no engine, no noise, at water level. The most intimate way to get close to the surrounding flora and fauna. A direct encounter with nature that only the rhythm of the paddle makes possible. Departs from Puerto Juli Cué.

Included
Into the land
Horse-drawn canoe — ancestral practice exclusive to the Carambola Portal, Iberá Wetlands
2 to 3 hours

Horse-drawn Canoe

An ancestral practice of the Carambola Portal's wetland guides and the traditional mode of transport of local people. It does not exist at any other portal in Iberá — highlighted by BBC Travel as a defining experience of the portal. Includes flora and fauna spotting and a stop at a traditional refuge.

Included Carambola exclusive
Horseback ride through the flooded grasslands and meadows of Iberá National Park
2 to 3 hours

Horseback Ride to the Refuge

Led by local guides, the route departs 10 minutes from the lodge and crosses flooded grasslands and meadows until reaching a traditional refuge where afternoon tea is served in the heart of nature.

Included
Nature walk in Iberá National Park — wildlife and native flora observation, Carambola Portal
1 to 2 hours

Nature Walk in Iberá National Park

Guided walks through the grasslands and woodlands of the National Park for the observation of birds, native flora and fauna. Two options depending on pace and interest: short circuit (1 km) or long circuit (4 km).

Included
Night and sky
Night safari in 4x4 at Carambola Portal — nocturnal wildlife spotting in Iberá National Park
Approx. 1 hour

Night Safari

4×4 drive along the internal tracks of the Carambola Portal at dusk. The total darkness of Iberá transforms every outing: wildlife in complete freedom, deep silence and the starlit sky as the only horizon. Sightings are frequent, though never guaranteed.

Included
Stargazing in the Iberá Wetlands — one of the clearest night skies in Argentina
Variable

Iberá Night Sky

Far from any light pollution, the esteros offer one of the clearest night skies in Argentina. The Milky Way, southern hemisphere constellations and shooting stars with the naked eye: an experience of pure contemplation that alone justifies the journey.

Included
Culture and territory
Live chamamé performance at El Tránsito Lodge — musicians from Concepción del Yaguareté Corá
Variable

Chamamé Live Performance

Musicians and dancers from Concepción join guests in an experience that connects with the deepest roots of Corrientes. Chamamé — a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2020 — performed live under the Iberá sky is something that stays with you.

Included
Cultural tour of Concepción del Yaguareté Corá — museums and Corrientes traditions, Iberá National Park
Approx. 3 hours

Cultural Tour of Concepción del Yaguareté Corá

A curated tour through the history of the town and its museums, full of music, customs and legends from this corner of Corrientes. The Corrientes way of life that Iberá carries within its territory.

Included

Travelling in a large group?

Our experiences are designed for groups of up to 8 guests — a decision that guarantees the quality of each outing and respects the policies of the National Park. For larger groups, our team will put together a tailored programme: for some activities we will arrange shifts or smaller groups, making sure the experience is just as special for everyone. Let's talk to coordinate.

There is no fixed schedule or imposed itinerary. On arrival, the lodge team sits down with you to coordinate outings based on your interests, the weather forecast and available slots. The idea is for the programme to adapt to your stay, not the other way around. If an activity is cancelled due to weather, the team will try to reschedule it before check-out.
All outdoor activities depend on weather conditions. In the event of rain, storms or strong wind, the team will try to reschedule the activity during your stay. Some experiences are particularly enjoyable under overcast skies — the team will guide you in each case to make the most of your available days.
Nature and culture experiences have a maximum capacity of 8 guests per outing. Sport fishing operates with a maximum of 2 anglers per boat. For larger groups, the team puts together a tailored programme and, when necessary, arranges shifts or smaller groups to guarantee the quality of each experience.
The only age restriction is for sport fishing, available for guests aged 13 and over. The night safari, horseback ride, horse-drawn canoe and all other experiences have no age restriction. For families with young children, we recommend consulting with the lodge team when booking to coordinate the most suitable options.
The lodge provides all equipment for the included activities. We recommend comfortable clothing, closed shoes for horseback riding and nature walks, sunscreen and insect repellent. For the night safari and stargazing, bring a light jacket. For Fly Cast fishing, bring your own gear; for Bait Cast, equipment is provided with the excursion.
