Open to visitors all year round. To enjoy the sun and the beach, you can go from November to March.

Birds, wildlife and handicrafts

The island offers an ideal setting to watch birds and observe wildlife, including alligators, black howlers (in the Panco Cué area) and capybaras, as well as some rare plants such as the Yataí Poñí dwarf palm tree.

The Apipé Grande Provincial Park, created in 2021, covers an important part of the island and includes the Hermosa, Camba Cué and Sirena lagoons formed in an old riverbed.

 

On the island, you can arrange to go horse riding and take sailing tours, enjoy the beaches of Punta Aguirre and Puerto Mora and visit its towns rich in culture and traditions, which are reflected in handicrafts and gastronomy.
