Rincon del Socorro
Ibera Wetlands, Argentina
Where the wild things are ....
Estancia Rincón del Socorro is in the remote Esteros del Iberá, in the Corrientes province of northeast Argentina. The nearest town is Mercedes (65km away); the provincial capital, Corrientes, is 3.5 hours (330km) away.
Rincón del Socorro is the ideal base for all this because it’s not just an exclusive retreat, it’s also the chance to participate in Douglas Tompkins’ ambitious conservation project led by The Conservation Land Trust which is working to create the largest national park in Argentina, and restore extinct populations of giant anteaters, pampas deer and jaguars. Immaculate and strikingly stylish, the 9 rooms in sepia tones preserve the original feel of the 1896 estancia, and give guests an intense contact with nature. Add tasty organic food and great hospitality and this is one of the most relaxing and interesting spots in Argentina.
Most activities are included as part of your stay at Rincón del Socorro. Enjoy guided bird-watching trips, explore the landscape and wildlife from a different perspective, by horseback or go out by Land Rover for a night safari to view the nocturnal wildlife. For an additional cost there is also extraordinarily good fly-fishing available at their sister estancia. You can also watch real gauchos at work, rounding up cattle at a nearby estancia—definitely a quintessential part of rural life in this part of the country.
Plunge into another world at this luxury eco-estancia located in a spectacular nature reserve covering the vast un-spoilt wetlands of northeast Argentina.

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.

Kim & Brad Balance
Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.
Milford family
We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!
Mark Taylor
Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.
Elizabeth Mackintosh
Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip.
