Every season of the year is beautiful and different to visit the destination. Each season has its charm and there are no clear periods of rain.

During the summer most of the birds are nesting with their young. The migratory birds find in the Iberá reserve, an appropriate place to spend the season. Aquatic plants such as water poppies and water hyacinths give the Estero / Wetland a great color while the white orchid and the “Caraguatá” (Bromelia penguin) do this in the mountains. Many of the plants are in their magnificence due to the excellent combination of heat and humidity.

In autumn and spring the temperatures are temperate so it is a perfect time to see the deer of the swamps during mating season, thus it is common to see them in groups.

Winter is an ideal time to see the caiman that takes advantage of all the places available for sunbathing, which is vital because they are cold-blooded reptiles. They can be observed in groups of up to 20 specimens side by side. You can also see migratory birds that fly from Patagonia fleeing from the cold. It is an ideal climate to see strange animals such as the “Curiyú” or yellow anaconda that climbs trees and rocks to hibernate.
