Bright waters & cozy rooms in Iberá

A historic estate feeling mixed with the renew touch of the modern refurbishment make of Puerto Valle a unique resting place.


History, nature and refinement can be found at this traditional manor in Corrientes, built in 1868. Along with a 14 hectares park, Puerto Valle Hotel provides its guests exclusive access to the rich biodiversity of this enchanting spot at Iberá Wetlands.

The surroundings meet deep into the wetlands, featuring lakes, marshlands and floating soil formations against the backdrop of the native forests and the Paraná river. Also, the estate engages in a series of productive sustainable activities such as forestry and cattle-raising.

Among the common spaces in the old mansion, the living room is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the views of the park and the river from the large windows and terraces. For visitors in the winter time, the library with its fireplace and bookcase provide an ideal cozy setting.

The park surrounding the manor was designed by the prestigious landscaping firm of Carlos Thays, including a vast diversity of native and exotic species plants, trees and flowers.

The in-house cuisine promises “regional flavors, unforgettable pleasures” for every meal. Breakfast and tea time with homemade pastries including the local classic chipá (cheese bun).

A both traditional and contemporary menu offers aromas and flavors perfectly paired with an excellent selection of national wines. All gourmet dishes are made and seasoned with herbs and vegetables grown at the hotel´s organic garden.   

Spread around the old mansion and a new building, all the rooms combine thoughtful details, exquisite architecture and design with views to the Paraná river.

Total Solar Eclipse in the Andes

Viewing an eclipse is a unique mystical experience. And even more special it is while being surrounded by the northern Andes mountain range.


Once a fearful and unpredictable event, nowadays observing an eclipse is an emotional and powerful experience. The day becomes night, nature stands still, oddly quiet and the temperature drops abruptly. A gradual twilight dance between the moon and the sun that wraps you slowly in an incredible surrounding.

The next total solar eclipse will take place on July 2, 2019. Lucky for us, it will be fully seen west to east in our country, right over a few locations in the provinces of San Juan, La Rioja, San Luis, Córdoba, Santa Fe and Buenos Aires. This is a great excuse to plan a trip to Argentina! Take advantage of the opportunity and enjoy touring around.

Eclipse in Rapa Nui, Easter Island, 2010

We invite you to the northwest to witness this rare natural phenomena when the moon gets between the sun and the earth. It provides many beautiful landscapes to set a special context to experience this unique event. A trip across Mendoza, San Juan and La Rioja, passing by Ischigualasto, Talampaya and El Leoncito National Parks…enjoying local culture, traditional food and wine tasting…the perfect northwest destination combination.

You may be asking yourself where to watch the eclipse. For us, one of the best places is Valle Fértil in San Juan. A quien city that dazzles visitors from all over with its abundant vegetation and mountain landscape filled with cacti.
