Argentalk: Stories in Argentine Spanish
In this episode, we travel to Corrientes in northern Argentina to explore the Esteros del Iberá—one of the largest wetlands in South America and a true hidden gem for nature lovers. I interview Roque Boccalandro, a park ranger from Colonia Carlos Pellegrini, who shares the history of Iberá, what makes this place so special, which animals you can see (like capybaras, caimans, deer, birds, and even the jaguar), and what it’s really like to visit—access points, local culture, and how tourism changed the region. A perfect episode if you love Argentina beyond the classic tourist spots, and it’s all 100% in Argentine Spanish.
