Mbaracayú Forest Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Canindeyú, Paraguay.
The Mbaracayú Forest Nature Reserve encompasses 64,405 hectares of humid subtropical forest with deep valleys, waterfalls, and streams feeding into the Jejuí River.
The reserve received official protection in 1991 through an agreement between Paraguay's government, Moisés Bertoni Foundation, United Nations, and The Nature Conservancy.
The reserve integrates environmental protection with local indigenous communities who maintain their traditional practices within the protected boundaries.
Visitors need to arrange transportation from Salto del Guairá to access the reserve, where interpretive centers provide information about local ecosystems.
The reserve contains permanently flooded forest areas that support yacare and broad-snouted caimans, contributing to its ecological diversity.
