Parque Regional Bardas Norte

Parque Regional Bardas Norte is a nature reserve spanning roughly 300 hectares in Neuquén with geological formations called bardas that run along the edges of flat terrain. Multiple walking trails connect different sections, passing through drier vegetation types that cover the slopes and plateaus.

The area was home to Indigenous peoples whose archaeological remains can still be found throughout the landscape. Evidence shows these communities lived in the Neuquén region for extended periods.

The place serves as a gathering space where residents connect with nature as part of their daily routine in the city. Walking trails and outdoor movement are central to how locals experience and use the landscape.

The park can be accessed from several points around the city, including entry points near major avenues and spaces close to the astronomical observation area. Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water, as the terrain offers little shade during warmer hours.

The park offers multiple routes with varying difficulty levels, allowing different types of walkers to find a path suited to their pace. Visitors can choose between brief circuits and longer explorations depending on their preferences and available time.
