In
2001, Douglas Tompkins, a philanthropist and conservationist, acquired the farm Rincón del Socorro to create a
74,131- acre natural reserve.
Tompkins and his team restored and expanded the old buildings of the farm, removed the cattle from the fields,
eliminated hundreds of miles of fences and initiated the biggest process of reintroduction of locally extinct
fauna (REWILDING) in the Americas. Giant anteaters, pampas deer and peccaries have already been released.
Part of this process concluded with the donation of lands for the creation of the Iberá National Park which,
together with the provincial reserve, constitutes the great Park Iberá.
Rincón del Socorro is immersed in
The Iberá National Park where diverse natural ecosystems can be found: several temporarily flooded grasslands
known as malezales, beautiful Caranday palm groves, broomsedges, savannas, espinal woodlands and gallery.
