The Iberá Wetlands for Kids: 7 Tips for Family Trips

Are you planning a family trip to connect with nature and engage in different adventures and activities? The Iberá Wetlands in Corrientes can be a great option to live new experiences and learn about the local flora and fauna.

Tours, boat-rides, hiking trails, expeditions and an incredible gastronomy are just some of the reasons why this is a top destination for all ages.

Here are some useful tips for traveling with the family to this natural paradise.

Pack comfortable clothes that can get soiled

This gives children the freedom to enjoy themselves without worries. Choose waterproof, loose-fitting garments. Some thinner clothes in light colors to avoid excess heat, as well as warm outfits to wear at different times of the day and under different weather conditions.  

Activities include hiking, kayaking and horseback riding. At Hotel Puerto Valle, we also have a swimming pool; make sure you bring a bathing suit and flip-flops.

Sports shoes

It is essential to wear comfortable shoes to be able to enjoy all the activities in the Iberá Wetlands to the fullest. We recommend you pack a spare pair, in case your sports shoes get wet, to give time to dry.

Sunscreen and hats

In summer, temperatures are usually very high, and the sun can be harmful, especially for the sensitive skin of children. For this reason, we recommend bringing hats or caps to protect their heads and sunscreen for outdoor activities.

If they swim or walk for several hours, reapply the product several times a day, especially every two hours.

Get the necessary rest

Children have a different rhythm than adults, so it is key that they can get enough rest. If you plan to do a lot of activities as a family, keep in mind that the little ones may need to take naps every few hours—this will allow everyone to enjoy themselves to the fullest.

Use mosquito repellent

The wetlands are a tropical and subtropical ecosystem that is home to a great diversity of animals, vegetation and flowers. Due to its climate, mosquitoes are everywhere, and they can transmit diseases. Adequate protection will allow you to fully concentrate on the experience and enjoy a unique family trip. For the peace of mind of our guests, at Hotel Puerto Valle we have repellent in all rooms and common areas, and the guides always bring repellent to all activities.

Promoting contact with nature

Vacations in a natural setting allow children to connect with nature and the environment in a way that is not possible in an urban context. This can help them develop a greater appreciation for the little things and understand the importance of preserving our habitat.

Unplug and share quality time with the family

Many children have access to devices such as tablets or cell phones and what better time to disconnect from this world than a family vacation in a natural environment.

Set the example as an adult, connect with nature and with your loved ones. The results might surprise you.
