Reserva natural urbana de Morón, Nature reserve in Castelar Sur, Argentina
The Reserva natural urbana de Morón is a protected natural area near Buenos Aires that contains native grasslands, woodlands, and a pond supporting multiple ecosystems. The site preserves regional habitats within an urban landscape and offers visitors a chance to experience local flora and fauna up close.
The land was originally part of Morón Airport, which served as Argentina's first international airport in the 1940s. It later became part of an Air Force facility before being converted into a nature reserve.
The reserve hosts educational workshops and guided walks, teaching visitors about local wildlife, including hawks, opossums, hares, and various bird species.
The reserve opens Wednesday through Sunday with extended hours during summer months. It is accessible on foot and has basic facilities suitable for a morning or afternoon visit.
The site functions as a natural flood control system while hosting native trees like ombú and algarrobo species rarely found in urban settings. This combination creates an unusual woodland-grassland complex that evolved from its former aviation use.
