Laguna Iberá sits at the heart of one of South America's most extraordinary wetland systems in the province of Corrientes, Argentina. The lagoon is the centerpiece of the vast Iberá Natural Reserve, a sprawling wetland complex covering approximately 1,300,000 hectares. The town of Colonia Carlos Pellegrini, located about 120 kilometers from the city of Mercedes, serves as the primary base for visitors accessing the lagoon. The Laguna Iberá Gateway is among the most developed entry points in the entire Iberá system, offering a full range of tourism services, accommodation options from campgrounds to boutique all-inclusive hotels, and a variety of nature experiences. The waters here are notably crystalline, providing an exceptional environment for both wildlife and anglers.
