Jaaukanigás

The Jaaukanigás wetland system extends across 492,000 hectares, featuring lagoons, streams, marshes, and seasonal grasslands along the Middle Paraná River floodplain.

The indigenous Abipones people named this region Jaaukanigás, which translates to 'people of the water', reflecting their deep connection to these lands.

Fifty percent of the local population maintains traditional fishing practices in the wetland, which contains approximately 300 different fish species.

The nature reserve welcomes visitors from March to November, with February marking the start of the fishing season and August bringing pink lapacho flowers.

The wetland provides habitat for diverse wildlife, including two alligator species, capybaras, black howlers, and more than 300 bird species.
