Wildlife

ntre Rios is home to 350 species of birds, 85 mammals and almost 70 reptiles. Among them all at the ranch you may encounter herons, storks, carpinchos (the world's biggest rodent), alligators, boas, deer, and ņandus, a native species of ostrich.
Its flora is luxuriant and varied ranging from simple weeds to forests: water plants, lilies, hyacinths, ombues, and weeping willows. The waters from the Alcaraz River that empties into the Parana River, makes it an excellent place for Dorado fishing. The Dorado, Salminus Maxillosus or Tiger of the River, ranges from an average of 2.5/4 kg. up to 7/10 kg.. The fact that it is a fighter and a great acrobat (it jumps from three to five times over the water when trying to free itself from the fishhook), make it a great prize for fishers.

Southern Cone Skies


he Southern Hemisphere skies are home to the familiar zodiacal constellations, as well as a number of other more southern constellations unfamiliar to northern hemisphere sky watchers. The Southern Cross is the most recognizable of these. Visible throughout the year as it circles the south celestial pole, it has been used by generations of boy scouts as a direction finder. Dark nights away from the city are a spectacular sight, especially in winter when the central parts of our Milky Way galaxy stretch across the sky. In dark skies, our two neighboring galaxies - the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds - are also easily seen as diffuse fuzzy patches.
