Parque provincial Puerto Península, Nature reserve in Misiones, Argentina
Parque Provincial Puerto Península is a nature reserve in Misiones Province with mixed forests, wetlands, and numerous native wildlife species. The area spans extensive forest land with rare tree species and serves as an important corridor for regional wildlife.
The protected area was established in 2004 through provincial legislation to safeguard the forests of Misiones. Its creation recognized the need to preserve the region's ecological systems from human pressure.
Indigenous Guarani communities have shaped this landscape for generations, and their connection to the forest remains visible in how the land is named and used today. Visitors can experience this living relationship between people and nature as they walk through the park.
Visitors should prepare for unpaved trails and wet conditions, especially during rainy seasons. Early morning is the best time to explore, when wildlife is more active and trails are less crowded.
The park contains Astronium fraxinifolium trees, a species that grows naturally only at this location in all of Argentina. This presence makes the reserve a place of special biological interest for plant enthusiasts and nature lovers.
