Estancia Rincon del Socorro

Estancia Rincón del Socorro is a 12,000-hectare (29,700 acres) former cattle ranch on the edge of the Iberá wetlands in northeastern Argentina that has been made into a nature reserve. The orientation is to give guests and visitors a good understanding of the local ecosystem and an appreciation for the importance of wetlands and savanna landscapes.

Estancia Rincón del Socorro is a small, refined eco-tourist hotel in the ranch's recycled main house. There are six rooms in the main house and three small bungalows within 50 meters of it, all with private bathrooms and one with a sitting room and a small kitchenette. The main house has a large indoor living room, a screened veranda living room, a large indoor dining room, a terrace dining area and a children's game room. On the grounds are a swimming pool, a screened barbecue house and a barn with tack room.

Meals are predominantly prepared with organic fruit and vegetables; meat is all free-range. The lodge is equipped with a professional kitchen and offers a full service bar. The lodge specializes in fine organic cuisine and honors the Argentinean barbeque tradition served in the well known barbeque dining area with a wide variety of free range meat, grilled vegetables, good Argentinean wines, homemade breads and special deserts. When the weather is good, lunch and dinner can be served outdoors. Special diets can be accommodated with prior notice.
