Rewilding Initiative
Three decades ago, Iberá was a degraded backwater due
to commercial foresting, illegal hunting, and cattle ranching. However, thanks to a
transformational rewilding initiative led by entrepreneurs Doug and Kristine Tompkins, the
wetlands have been restored. The couple purchased large tracts of land, not just to protect
them, but to restore entire ecosystems. As a result, Iberá is now one of South America’s
premier wildlife-watching destinations.

rincon del socorro
Located in the Esteros del Iberá natural reserve,
Rincón del Socorro is a historical place. It was acquired by conservation philanthropist
Douglas Tompkins with the aim of creating the largest natural park in Argentina. Locally
extinct wildlife species such as giant anteaters, pampas deer and peccaries have been
reintroduced here.
El Rincón del Socorro offers rustic-style accommodation, an organic restaurant, night safaris
and free bicycle rental
