Ciervo de los Pantanos National Park, National park in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
Ciervo de los Pantanos National Park is a protected reserve in Buenos Aires Province that combines wetlands, forests, and waterways in one place. The land sits near the Paraná River Delta where different natural habitats meet and support each other.
The land once formed part of Estancia Otamendi in the 19th century, where brick making and farming shaped daily life. The shift from working land to protected nature reflects how the region has changed its priorities over time.
The park takes its name from the marsh deer, an endangered species that roams through these wetlands and defines the reserve's purpose. Watching these animals in their habitat helps visitors understand how the natural world here depends on protection.
The reserve sits roughly 70 kilometers from Buenos Aires city and is accessible by road. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring weather protection since the trails pass through damp areas and grassland.
The reserve hosts a remarkable variety of water birds and other wildlife, playing a key role for migratory species during seasonal journeys. These birds rely on the park as a crucial stopover point on their annual travels between different regions.
