Rincon del Socorro's Positive Impact

In 2001, philanthropist and conservationist Douglas Tompkins purchased Rincon del Socorro farm to establish a 74, 131-acre natural reserve under the stewardship of his foundation, The Conservation Land Trust (CLT). The goal behind acquiring Rincon del Socorro and other lands in Ibera was both straightforward and ambitious: to create Argentina’s largest natural park, restore locally extinct wildlife, and foster an economy rooted in ecotourism.

Rincon del Socorro specializes in low-impact, carbon footprint friendly excursions and activities such as birdwatching, horseback riding, hiking, cycling and cultural experiences. Guests can hike through diverse natural paths in the company of a knowledgeable local guide, learning about the abundance of wild fauna which is familiarized with people due to the protection process that has been developed for many decades.

Socorro is the main operating center of the Ibera Project. Guests can participate in talks and videos with local biologists who are part of the project, in order to learn more about the incredible work that is underway.
