Iberá Ruguá Deluxe Camp
The Guarani influence is very present in the area, this shows in most of the names for places, animals and food, but also in the way life goes on inside the marsh. This is also the case with our camp site, Iberá Ruguá, which translates as ‘deep in the waters’.
About the cabin
This is the first of our overnights camp sites inside the marsh, and the closest in distance to Juli Cué port, in the Carambola sistem. This camp complements any stay at La Alondra’i, providing the opportunity to spend a night inside the marsh, in a rustic style cabin with all the basic amenities.
You can arrive here after a short boat ride, but is easily combined with other activities such a horseback riding day, or swimming with horses.
Ibera Rugua can hold up to 4 guests per night, providing rooms, bathrooms with hot water showers.
Activities
Iberá Ruguá is the ideal add-on to your stay at La Alondra’i inside the marsh, far from town but maintining some amenities. Several 2 day activities can be combined with an overnight at the cabin.
Fly Fishing
Thorough research, by the Natural Reserve authorities, concluded that this area was both viable and sustainable for the practice of catch and release fly-fishing for Dorado (Salminus Maxillosus). In 2017, through the establishment of a special Natural Reserve license, our operation was granted fishing access to this area.
Eco-safaris
The whole ecosystem of the Ibera Wetlands is filled with unique wildlife. More than 300 different species populate the thousands of lagoons and marshes, a true paradise for those in love with photo-safaris.
Swiming with horses
We will take to you back in time to experience the esterero way. Swim through channels while holding your horse by the tail and experience the wetlands and its biodiversity in a truly unique fashion! Throughout the water experience our powerboat will follow for both safety or if someone would like to end their swim early.
Stand-up Paddle
This is our newest proposal, for those looking to test their balance over the paddle boards while touring a small circuit with streams, canals and lagoons.
Kayak
If your adventurous spirit yearns for a unique experience with nature then a kayak trip through the Ibera Marsh should be seriously considered. This will give you a new dimension to view the areas birdlife, wildlife and biodiversity.
The Cabin
Iberá Ruguá offers the rustic lodging to complement your stay at La Alondra’i. It can hold up to 4 guests, with 2 bathrooms and a small dinning room, and a gazebo.
Omar
Omar is the host at Ibera Rugua. This ‘paisano’ is well known in the area and true example of his culture. With his traditional paisano hat, he knows its way through the wetlands like not many others. Meeting him is a experience by itself.
Tradition
Without a doubt, the marsh is linked to the Guarani culture. The ‘Mate’, ‘paisanos’ and is history are a big part of the life that it breaths. With ways and customs unique of this place, the ‘estereros’ will offer to show their way, to whoever wants to listen.
