El Palmar National Park, National park in Entre Ríos Province, Argentina.
The park spans 8,213 hectares and contains dense groves of Yatay palm trees growing among grasslands, small woods, and forested areas near the Uruguay River.
The park was established in 1966 to protect one of the last remaining Yatay palm tree concentrations, which British settlers had previously reduced through agricultural development.
The park contains the Calera de Barquín ruins, a former limestone facility with kilns and a jetty that represents 19th-century industrial development in the region.
Visitors can access the park through main routes connecting Colón and Concordia cities, with a central office providing maps and information about walking trails.
The protected Yatay palms reach heights of twenty meters and can live up to 400 years, creating extensive natural formations at their southernmost distribution point.

Argentina extends across multiple climate zones and contains numerous geological formations. The country encompasses high mountain ranges in the Andes, salt flats in the northwest, rock formations in Patagonia, and extensive grasslands. These areas display the region's geological history and the adaptation of human settlements to different environments. The sites include volcanic craters, thermal springs, canyons, and historic villages. Many of these locations lie away from main routes and require several hours of travel. The regions document pre-Columbian cultures, colonial history, and traditional ways of life that continue today.
