Tatí Yupí Refuge, Protected area in Hernandarias, Paraguay.
The Tatí Yupí Refuge extends across 2,245 hectares of subtropical forest on the right bank of the Paraná River, featuring diverse ecosystems and waterfalls.
The establishment of Tatí Yupí Refuge coincided with the development of the Itaipu Dam in 1982, becoming one of eight ecological reserves managed by the hydroelectric project.
The name of the refuge derives from the Guarani language, reflecting the presence of fireflies that illuminate the forest during evening hours.
Visitors can explore three designated trails - Kañimby, Ka'i ladder, and Palmital - which provide access to different sections of the forest and educational opportunities.
The reserve contains trees reaching heights of over 30 meters, including specimens of cedro, lapacho, ybyrá pytá, and guatambú in the upper forest canopy.
