Date: Wednesday 7 September 2022

Trajectory:  Carlos Pelligrini

Distance covered: 5 km on foot and 18 in boat

A morning view of my Ecolodge – very exclusive!

The day started with a boat excursion on the wetlands.

… where we saw yacarés, both black … 

… and broad-snouted 

And little ones too …

It was great navigating the Iberá wetlands ..

And my bird of the day, the Wattled Jacana, was taken there.

At the end of the boat trip the guide, Antonio, spotted what looked at first a rather nasty piece of work …

… but turned out to be a a false water cobra. Just as well that it was false …

Lunch back at the ecolodge and an afternoon trek on a couple of trails

Where I had the good luck to see an armadillo  (nine-banded long-nosed) …

… lots of butterflies …

And lots of capybara everywhere., mostly unconcerned by trail walkers. This one was in for a delousing service …

Back to Ñande Retá for siesta and supper. A good day, and tomorrow promises more of the same.
