Itinerary
The proposal seeks to connect with Iberian life in the most remote places of the estuaries. It is a journey on horseback of approximately 6 hours that begins in the Felipe Post (near the town of Concepción del Yaguareté Corá) and ends in Ñu Py, a typical Corrientes place nestled in the middle of the estuary, after crossing the emblematic Carambola stream that The gauchos used historically for the herding by swimming of the cattle that they took from these places to Concepción, a practice that they preserve to this day. The experience includes the crossing of two or three swimming steps: they are streams in which the horses are unsaddled, the mounts cross in Iberian canoes and the riders have the option of crossing attached to the horses swimming or in the canoes. The first option is as fun as it is risky and requires average skill.
