Reserva natural de Ciudad Evita, Nature reserve in Ciudad Evita, Argentina
Reserva natural de Ciudad Evita spans about 288 hectares in the Matanza-Riachuelo basin and features a mix of wetlands, Pampas grasslands, and ravine woodlands with diverse species. The landscape supports native plants and animals adapted to the local conditions of this region.
This area was originally home to the Querandi people, and archaeological remains from their settlements can still be found here today. It later became part of Ciudad Evita, established during Juan Domingo Peron's presidency in the 1950s.
The reserve lies in the Matanza-Riachuelo basin and is listed among ACUMAR's areas of interest. Neighbours first organised around protecting the Bosque de Ciudad Evita, and neighbourhood associations now demand signage, park rangers, internal paths and recreation areas. A private project by the Korean-founded IYF foundation seeks to set up a recreation centre in the area to be preserved.
The reserve is freely accessible during daylight hours and features walking trails that allow visitors to observe native wildlife in their natural settings. The relatively flat terrain makes it easy to explore without requiring specialized hiking skills or equipment.
More than 140 bird species have been recorded here, over 40 of them tied to wetland and lagoon habitats. The reserve lies in the Matanza-Riachuelo basin and is listed among ACUMAR's areas of interest. It has no signage or park ranger service, a gap neighbours' associations want closed with internal paths and recreation areas.
