REPTILES OF THE IBERÁ WETLANDS
There are many reptiles in this area and they can be surprisingly easy to see. We have 2 types of Cayman - the Spectacled and the Broad-snouted - the former can be seen regularly at Reserva Don Luis. In late January we also had a good sighting of the Broad-snouted Cayman.
