The Irupé Lodge The Irupé Lodge is located on the shore of the Iberá Lake in the village of Colonia Carlos Pellegrini, province of Corrientes, Argentina. The panoramic view of the park and lake right out front, crowded with colourful birds, invites you to explore Argentina’s nature. The Lodge construction on poles ensures a natural and cozy atmosphere for unforgettably relaxing days. Moreover, the country-style designed and original rooms will help to make your holidays peaceful and exclusive.

Activities Safaris by Boat: On the lake Iberá you can take morning, afternoon and sunset safaris. Swamp deer, capybaras, caimans, giant otters and birds can be observed all year round. Night Safaris: To see the swampland’s other face, you start off with a specialized guide around sunset. Bird Watching: Thanks to Iberá’s being the home to over 350 species of birds, Colonia Carlos Pellegrini is a must for any professional ornithologist or hobby birder. Hikes, Treks and Walks: The best way to discover the tiny details of the intact nature of Iberá is on foot. Horse Riding: Astride a horse you will feel like an authentic Gaucho from the neighbourhood and get an unforgettable view of landscape and tradition. In the company of your guide you will find trails through palm tree forests and past the sparkling water of the lake. A Day in the Life of the Gauchos: Early in the morning you're driven to a place in the middle of nowhere. The local guide, Chachito, and his horses will take you on a unique and adventurous trip to several little farmhouses; places you only get to on horseback or on foot. Farm Visits and Agricultural Tourism: The area of Colonia Carlos Pellegrini is mainly pasture land with large horse and cattle breeding farms. A visit brings you close to the life and habits of the farmers.

Wildlife The ecological hunt with binoculars and camera begins right in the 15,000 square-meter garden along the lakeshore. The birdwatchers will find aquatic birds as well as birds that prefer the subtropical forests and the humid pampas. Several species are endemic or endangered.
