How to get there

Rincón del Socorro is usually reached via Posadas, which has regular flights from Buenos Aires. From Posadas, the overland transfer takes around four to five hours, travelling through rural Corrientes before reaching the Iberá wetlands.

There is also the option to charter a light aircraft for the journey which saves not only a huge amount of time, but also a lot of bumps in the road.

  • Children of all ages are welcome, with family-friendly room configurations available.
  • Tailored family activities include wildlife drives, boat excursions, horse riding, cycling and nature walks, with guides adapting experiences to suit different ages and interests.
  • Plenty of space to explore – The expansive grounds, swimming pool and open grasslands provide ample opportunities for children to enjoy time outdoors between excursions.
  • Best for young nature lovers – Children aged six and over are likely to get the most from the experience, particularly if they enjoy wildlife, birdwatching and discovering the natural world.

For families seeking an alternative to a traditional safari, Rincón del Socorro offers one of South America’s most rewarding wildlife experiences, combining adventure, conservation and plenty of opportunities to explore together.

Giving back

Sustainability isn’t simply part of the experience at Rincón del Socorro – it is the reason the lodge exists. The former cattle ranch was transformed into a conservation lodge as part of one of South America’s most ambitious rewilding projects, with tourism helping to fund the restoration of the Iberá wetlands and the protection of its wildlife.

  • Conservation-led tourism – Every stay helps support the work of Rewilding Argentina, contributing to the restoration of ecosystems and the long-term protection of the Iberá wetlands.
  • Pioneering rewilding – The project has successfully reintroduced locally extinct species including jaguars, giant anteaters, giant otters, red-and-green macaws and pampas deer, helping to restore the region’s natural balance.
  • Supporting local communities – The lodge provides employment, works with local suppliers and encourages sustainable livelihoods, ensuring tourism delivers lasting benefits to surrounding communities.
  • Low-impact operations – Guest numbers are intentionally kept low, allowing for intimate wildlife encounters while minimising disturbance to the surrounding environment.
  • Locally sourced cuisine – Menus showcase fresh, seasonal ingredients from Corrientes, supporting regional producers and celebrating the area’s culinary traditions.

A stay at Rincón del Socorro does more than immerse you in one of Argentina’s greatest wildlife destinations – it directly supports the ongoing restoration of one of the world’s most important wetland ecosystems.
