Skin and Safari: Capybara Tattoos and Corrientes Adventures
I’ve seen some large rodents in my time – from the guinea pigs I kept as pets as a kid to the Jurassic rats of New York City – but my understanding is that the capybara is the largest one of all. Unlike those rats, however, I’d actually like to see a capybara in its natural habitat. That’s fortunate, because when we head to Argentina’s Don Joaquin River Lodge in December to fish for golden dorado, we should have a very good shot.
As I’ve researched the wildlife of the Corrientes region, it’s become obvious that despite being native to South America capybaras have a cult following worldwide. In Japan, there are anime characters dedicated to them and in Argentina they’ve become political symbols. There are all sorts of reasons to ink ‘em on your skin. Here are some of our favorite examples:
If you’d like to see these rodents of unusual size in the wild, consider joining us in Argentina in December. Whether you’re there to fish as well or exclusively for the wildlife encounters we can put together a trip of a lifetime – one that might inspire you to get a capybara tattoo of your own.
Discover the charm of capybara tattoos and meet these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Join us in Corrientes, Argentina for golden dorado fishing, wildlife encounters, and ink-worthy inspiration.
