Reserva provincial Telteca, Protected natural park in Mendoza, Argentina.
The Telteca Provincial Reserve extends over 20,400 hectares of desert landscape with sand dunes and open woodland in northeastern Mendoza province.
The reserve gained official protection status in 1985 through Provincial Law 5061, establishing a conservation area in the Monte plains and plateaus ecoregion.
The name Telteca derives from Huarpe indigenous words 'chrein' meaning mature and 'chreca' meaning fruit, referring to the carob trees' fruits.
The park features marked trails for nature observation, with summer temperatures reaching high levels and winters remaining mild with minimal precipitation.
The protected area houses the endangered crowned eagle along with grey foxes, maras, viscachas, and numerous songbird species in their natural habitat.
