Parque Luro

Parque Luro is a protected nature reserve in La Pampa centered around a grand hunting lodge called El Castillo. The property spans native grasslands with walking trails that guide visitors through the region's original plant and animal life.

Francisco Luro created this hunting estate in the early 1900s as a private retreat for Argentina's wealthy landowners. Over time, the grounds gained protection and evolved into the nature park visitors explore today.

The lodge reveals how wealthy Argentine landowners lived and hunted during the 1800s, blending European tastes with rural life. Walking through El Castillo, you see how these families displayed their status and connection to the Pampas.

The grounds are best explored on foot, with marked trails leading through different landscape zones. Access is via Route 5, and information centers offer tips on the best times to visit and which paths to take.

Rare Pampas wildlife still roams the grounds, species seldom seen elsewhere in the region. This diversity exists because the original landscape has remained largely untouched.
