We have
a farm in the Province of Corrientes, 750 km to the North
of the City of Buenos Aires, and 20 km from the city of
Goya, on the Paraná River.
The weather
is subtropical with rains reaching 1,800 mm/year and average
temperatures of 13 °C in July and 27°C in January.
Goya, the second largest
city of the province of Corrientes, is 20 km from this farm.
It has been declared the twin city of San Juan de Capistrano
in California due to the migration of swallows observed
in February every year. Thousands of these birds fly 12,000
km from this Argentine city to arrive in the USA in March.
The Iberá region,
thus called by the aborigines, is about 20,000 km2 featuring
lakes, rivers and swamps with hardly any paved road. There
are water plants such as the irupé (regia victoria),
whose leaves may be over a meter each.
This farm can accommodate
groups, in its 3 bedrooms with private bathrooms, who want
to go river fishing (in the Paraná, Santa Lucía,
Corrientes and Batel rivers and other smaller ones), bird
watching (over 300 species available) and on photographic
safaris or swamp fishing and canoeing.
We are used to hosting tourists
from France and the United States who come to enjoy nature.
We are near the Paraná River shores,
one of the longest rivers in the world. Allí encontrará
muy buena pesca de Dorados ("Salminus maxillosus")
y surubíes ( de más de 120 libras), manguruyúes,
palometas (pirañas). There are guides with boats
available to go fishing.
It is also possible to go on day or night excursions to
watch the yacarés (belonging to the crocodile family)
and the capibaras (the largest rodent in the world that
may weigh 70 kg).
You can observe large snakes (curiyu boa)
of the anaconda family and monkeys ("caraya")
and other species typical of these swampy regions composing
the southern extension of the Amazon basin.
