Reserva Valle del Arroyo Cuñá Pirú, Private nature reserve in Misiones Province, Argentina.
Reserva Valle del Arroyo Cuñá Pirú is a nature reserve protecting large expanses of forest between two municipalities in Misiones Province. The terrain features river valleys, waterfalls, and dense woodland that create a varied landscape throughout the protected area.
A paper company donated the land to a national university in 1992, which eventually led to the reserve's creation. This transfer changed the territory from industrial use to protected conservation land.
Mbayá indigenous communities have called this territory home for generations, shaping how the land is cared for and lived in today. Their presence remains woven into the daily rhythms and practices throughout the reserve.
Walking trails are the main way to explore the reserve, with paths varying in difficulty and passing through different forest zones. The drier months offer easier access to trails and better visibility of wildlife.
The Arroyo Cuñá Pirú waterways and falls create year-round water sources that attract wildlife species not found in surrounding drier areas. These permanent water features support animal populations that depend on consistent moisture for survival.
