Mburucuyá National Park
Mburucuyá National Park, National park in Mburucuyá Department, Argentina.
Description
Mburucuyá National Park is a protected area covering roughly 60,000 hectares of wetlands, forests, and grasslands in Corrientes Province. Capybaras, marsh deer, and many other animal species inhabit its various natural environments.
History
The park gained its protected status in 2001 after Dr. Troels Myndel Pedersen and Nina Sinding donated the Santa Teresa and Santa María estates. These private lands were then converted into a national park under government management.
Culture
The name Mburucuyá comes from the Guaraní language and refers to the passion flower, which holds deep meaning for the indigenous communities of the region. This plant shapes the landscape today and connects people to their natural surroundings.
Practical
The park administration office is located at Belgrano 997 in Mburucuyá, Corrientes and can be reached Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Visitors should allow enough time for walks through the various habitats and bring appropriate clothing for changing weather conditions.
Did you know?
The area sits at the intersection of three different ecological regions: the Humid Chaco, the Espinal, and the Paranaense Forest. This location allows animal and plant species to coexist that would normally live in separate regions.
