It is located about 15 km from downtown Puerto Iguazú, accessible via Route 12; you can take a taxi, private car service, or bus from the terminal, and it is recommended to book in advance on the official website guiraoga.org.

Güirá Oga is a rescue and rehabilitation center for native birds from the Misiones rainforest, founded in 1998 by the Mundo Sano Foundation to protect endangered species such as macaws and caimans. Its importance lies in conserving the biodiversity of Iguazú National Park and educating visitors about the impact of illegal wildlife trafficking.

The best time is during spring and autumn (September to November or March to May), when the weather is mild and there is less rain. Choose early morning, around 9:00 AM, to avoid the midday heat and see the birds at their most active at the start of the day.

The center has partially adapted trails with ramps and walkways for wheelchairs, but some areas are uneven due to the natural setting. It is recommended to contact them in advance at +54 3757 493650 or via guiraoga.org to request assistance or confirm accessible routes.

Near Güirá Oga, just 15 km away, are the majestic Iguazu Falls in the national park, ideal for a full day of adventure. You can also visit the Three Borders Landmark, about 20 minutes away by car, where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay meet, with panoramic river views.

Bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and comfortable clothing for walking along shaded trails; do not forget binoculars for better birdwatching. Book your guided tour in advance, especially during high season, and respect the rules about not feeding the animals for their well-being.
