Immerse yourself in the purest and least explored jungle of Misiones, within the Urugua-í Provincial Park, the largest protected area in the province and one of the last refuges of the tapir, the yaguareté, and hundreds of species of birds.
Accompanied by a specialised guide, you'll walk among centuries-old trees, vines, ferns, and wild orchids, discovering the living pulse of the jungle. You'll hear toucans, arasaris, and magpies singing, while traces of mammals are revealed on the trail.
The tour culminates in a natural viewpoint, from where, with some luck and patience, you can observe tapirs, peccaries, deer, and monkeys in their habitat. An authentic, silent experience deeply connected with the nature of Misiones.
