Back in the day, the Estereros (people who live in the ‘esteros’) used to travel to town to sell hides or buy provisions. In order to get there “Paisano’s” had to cross the numerous waterways and channels while carrying all their merchandise. To accomplish this they would dismount from their horse, take it by the tail, and have the horse swim and pull them through the water.
We will take to you back in time to experience the esterero way. Swim through channels while holding your horse by the tail and experience the wetlands and its biodiversity in a truly unique fashion! Throughout the water experience our powerboat will follow for both safety or if someone would like to end their swim early.
IMPORTANT: All participants must know how to swim.
This can be done as either a day activity or with an overnight stay at our camp in the middle of the wetlands. The camp is a great way to really enhance your wetlands visit.
Necessary equipment: swimming suit, bug repellent, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and a change of cloths.
