Hotel Puerto Valle
Senderos Soul
Puerto Valle's guided experiences cover a wide area of land and water, including into the amazing Ibera Wetlands and the tributaries of the River Paraná - to discover a wealth of wildlife and birdlife. What also really stood out for me when staying here was the quality and variety of cuisine presented at mealtimes and at surprise locations during the excursions. As the hotel is located in a dense tropical region and very close to the borders of Brazil and Paraguay, the cuisine is a fusion of these countries but also with a distinctive Argentinean and Estancia feel to it. They grow almost all of their own fruit and vegetables in their organic kitchen garden and offer a wide range of fresh dishes suitable for any dietary need. In addition to this they also offer the more traditional ‘asados’ - with slow cooked meats from their farm - and afternoon teas with local delicacies as a taste of Estancia living.
