Overview
Knowing the European and Argentine culture very well, Irupé Lodge has extended the services of its lodge and is now specializing in organizing and accompanying tailor-made journeys for guests. Special itineraries on the way to or from Irupé Lodge offer personalized experiences. Starting at the world famous Iguazú Falls, the provinces of Misiones and Corrientes have a wide range of highlights for every taste: Discover the North East by small aircraft, 4x4 or boat, on foot, horseback or mountain bike.
In the provinces of Misiones and Corrientes, guests will find some of the most historically interesting and beautiful places to visit, including: Iguazú Falls: At your feet, the water falls seventy meters down into the “Devil’s Throat”. The shiver down your back isn’t only the spray in the air. The 275 falls leave a great impression on every visitor as a unique demonstration of nature’s beauty and force. Once you’re there, you know why the UNESCO declared it to become a world heritage. The surrounding Iguazú National Park consists of still untouched jungle and awaits adventurers.
Moconá Falls: Uruguay River awaits you with a spectacular surprise: After crossing the hip deep water on foot, you will get right to the edge of one of the largest waterfalls on earth. Due to tectonic movement, the water falls over a three kilometre long step. Adrenaline won’t be missing either when you take the boat ride on Uruguay River exploring the immense biosphere reserve of Yabotí and getting to the falls from the other side.
Cattle Farms: Corrientes and Misiones provinces are dominated by big rivers and fertile pastures. It’s the area of horse and cattle breeding estancias, as the large farms are called. When you see the huge herds and watch the gauchos (Argentine cowboys) work, you notice that reality is much better than any Wild West movie. Now it’s up to you to have a go at riding one of the powerful horses. Relax program: Enjoy a stroll through the generous estancia parks, practise your fishing skills in the Uruguay or Paraná River or canoeing along the estancia intern creeks.
Mate Tea Plantations: The true Argentino needs two things to survive: Beef and Mate. Jesuits and later the European settlers adopted the Mate tea from the natives and industrialised its production. You can follow the process of how a simple plant becomes the national drink. After having tried the hot (Mate) or the cold (Tereré) drink, there’s hardly ever a tourist leaving the country without Mate in his luggage.
San Ignacio Miní and Santa Maria La Mayor: Here you can experience a part of the settler’s history and learn where the Province’s name “Misiones” comes from. In 30 large villages the natives were taught Spanish language, agriculture and Christian religion. On the other hand, the missionary took over certain aboriginal customs such as Mate tea and working with medicinal plants. Today the rebuilt ruins of San Ignacio and Santa Maria have been declared world heritage by the UNESCO.
Wanda: In the north of Misiones we can show you several mines where semi-precious stones are found. The mines are still active and you will see how the raw amethysts are brought to daylight and turned into fantastic jewellery – all by hand.
Alto Paraná River: In majestic calm, the Paraná River forms the Argentine – Paraguayan border. Its banks were and are a fertile home to the aboriginals as much as to the European settlers, which allows for a special mixture of cultures. Romantic islands and beaches complement the endless green of the jungle.
