Palmar Yatay, Protected natural area in Entre Ríos Province, Argentina.
Palmar Yatay is a protected area covering roughly 21,500 hectares of land that extends along tributaries of the Uruguay River. The site contains wetlands, gallery forests, and seasonal lagoons that create a diverse natural landscape.
The area was recognized as a Ramsar site in 2011 and marks the intersection of the Pampa and Espinal regions. This international designation underscores its importance as a critical wetland ecosystem.
The Yatay palms are deeply rooted in the local culture of Entre Ríos and have shaped the landscape for generations. Residents use the fruit from these trees to make traditional foods and beverages that reflect their regional identity.
The area has marked trails for birdwatching, especially since over 300 bird species can be found depending on the season. Visitors should prepare for varying conditions as the wetlands change with water levels.
The Yatay palms here can live between 250 and 350 years, with some specimens reaching up to 700 years of age. This longevity makes them living witnesses to the region's natural history.
