Puerto Valle Hotel de Esteros is located at km 1,282 of National Highway No. 12 -a privileged and wild spot by the forest, on the banks of Paraná River. It is easy and safe to access, both from and to other tourist areas and the main cities in the region. 260 km away from Corrientes City. 1,100 km away from Buenos Aires City. 50 km away from Posadas airport, Misiones. 30 minutes away from Esteros del Iberá (Iberá Marshlands). 120 km away from San Ignacio Ruins. 376 km away from Iguazú Falls. 

Puerto Valle´s off-the-beaten-track location promises undiscovered attractions such as the Iberá Marshlands, the Paraná River, nearby alligator farm and surrounding rainforest. 

Iberá (bright waters in Guarani) natural reserve is an unspoilt dream spot located in the center of Corrientes province. It boasts lakes, marshlands and dams making up one of the most attractive adventure and ecotourism areas worldwide. This extensive ecosystem is home to caymans, capybaras and deers, among many other species, several of which are protected since they are endangered species. The flora is breathtaking and absolutely diverse: irupés (Victoria cruciana), water hyacinths, duckweed and poppies live together with palm trees, willows, jacarandas and trumpet trees. The skies are lavishly inhabited by 400 bird species such as herons, storks and biguas (olivaceous cormorant), as well as flocks of multicolored butterflies. The rich water fauna is made up of over 111 species of fish. With an annual temperature of 20ºC / 68ºF, Iberá is an impressive paradise that lures any tourist because of its biodiversity. 



THE HOTEL:

Puerto Valle is a nature's shelter located on the Parana River's bank. The antique Correntinean ranch house, completely refurbished, allows for the discovery of this unique place. On its park of autochthonous species there lies a river that blends with the horizon. The exuberance of the Ibera's marshlands in the Tabé lagoon, located within the ranch, can be discovered from the hotel. With the first light in the morning the marshlands are reborn. Alligators, deer from our pampas and many carpinchos are part of scenery where also dozens of birds can be watched. When the sun sets in the West, leaving a colorful sheen on the water, the marshlands become "brilliant waters", as it was baptized by the guaraní tribe, original inhabitants of this place. 



A gallery made of tall bamboo cane leading to a park welcomes visitors to Puerto Valle. Sitting on the banks of the Paraná River, the five exclusives rooms are decorated in a tropical style typical of the Corrientes´region, reflecting the natural paradise that surrounds them. Guests can enjoy the peacefulness of Puerto Valle from a bungalow overlooking the river, a shady hammock, the open air bar or the gourmet restaurant, all located in beautifully manicured grounds. Harmonious birdsong, a wide variety of trees and endless open space create the ideal environment for complete relaxation.
