The Paraná River delta is a huge forested marshland about 30 km northeast of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The area is a very popular tour destination. Guided boat tours can be taken into this vast labyrinth of marsh and trees. The Paraná River delta is also one of the world’s greatest bird-watching destinations.
This image highlights the striking contrast between dense forest and wetland marshes, and the deep blue ribbon of the Paraná River.
