PUERTO VALLE HOTEL DE ESTEROS

Puerto Valle occupies a remote spot on the banks of the Rio Parana, bordering the Ibera Wetlands, offering a peaceful location to relax and observe the fascinating wildlife living in Argentina's largest protected conservation area. The estancia's deep yellow, colonial manor house sits within 14 hectares of landscaped parkland and features a cosy library and elegant drawing room with large windows and balconies from which to look over the river. Two of the more traditionally designed rooms sit within the manor house, while eight contemporary-style riverside rooms take inspiration from mid-century Scandinavian design, each with its own private terrace. All the activities offered by the estate relate to the river, estancia and the wetlands. Head out on a riverboat or kayak for a guided tour along the tranquil waterways reaching into the verdant Paranaense forest. The forest boasts more than fifty tree species per hectare, resulting in a rich ecosystem home to myriad birds and roaring howler monkeys. You may also wish to explore Laguna Valle by boat, where you may be lucky enough to encounter capybaras, marshland deer, neotropical otters and silently, lurking caimans. After a busy day of wildlife observation, take time out to relax by the pool or under the shady palapa.
