Guirá-Oga means "house of birds", and that is what the place does: it takes in wild animals hit on roads, seized from trafficking or handed in by residents, treats them, and returns to the forest those that can go back. Those that cannot, stay — and they are what the visitor sees, on a route past the enclosures with each animal’s story.
It sits in Puerto Iguazú, on the same stretch of road as the other two Argentine-side attractions — combining two of them in one half-day is what most people do. The visit is accompanied by a guide from the refuge itself.
Admission and the guided visit through the refuge
