Parque provincial de la Araucaria

Located in northeastern Argentina, this 92-hectare protected area contains native Parana pine forests and subtropical vegetation within the Atlantic Forest ecosystem.

The provincial government established this natural park in 1989 to protect remaining Araucaria angustifolia trees and preserve local biodiversity.

The reserve functions as an environmental education center where visitors learn about conservation practices and native species of the Misiones Province.

The park maintains several walking trails for nature observation, with rangers offering guided tours to identify local plant species and birds.

Scientists have documented nearly 200 bird species in this small reserve, including toucans and parrots that inhabit the Parana pine canopy.
