Parque provincial Cruce Caballero

The provincial park spans 600 hectares of Atlantic Forest, containing old growth Araucaria trees and tree ferns within a subtropical environment.

The park emerged from conservation initiatives during the late 20th century to protect the remaining Atlantic Forest biome in Misiones province.

The reserve integrates local indigenous knowledge and traditions into its conservation methods, supporting regional environmental education programs.

Visitors require a 4x4 vehicle to access the park, which provides basic facilities including communal kitchens and natural water showers.

The park harbors the critically endangered Helmeted Woodpecker and maintains one of Argentina's last stands of native Araucaria forest.
