Province of Corrientes, Argentina The Ibera Marsh is one of the largest and last remaining wetlands in Latin America. Located in northeastern Argentina, it is home to several unique animal species and abundant aquatic plant life.. The animal wildlife consist of 85 species of mammals, 350 species of birds, and more then 70 species of reptiles and amphibians. The Ibera Marshes (Los Esteros del Ibera) is world renowned for its remoteness, beauty and ecological diversity. The sub tropical area is home to numerous flora and fauna -flowering vines hanging from large trees, singing birds and large eagles are common along the river shore. Floating plants drift atop the river and small red crabs crawl lazily on the white sandy beaches on the river bank. The Corrientes ecosystem is filled with unexpected sights, from small owls to the largest rodent in the world, the capybara.
