Laguna Blanca National Park
Laguna Blanca National Park, National park and Ramsar site in Neuquén, Argentina
Laguna Blanca National Park is a protected area in Patagonian steppe, centered around a large shallow lagoon surrounded by volcanic formations and grassland. The park comprises both water and arid plains, with the visitor center providing orientation for exploring the terrain.
The park was established in 1940 to protect the lagoon and its surrounding wildlife. This designation helped secure a sanctuary for black-necked swans, which depend on this habitat for their survival.
The park holds traces of people who lived here long ago, visible in pottery shards and stone tools scattered across the land. These objects tell us how communities adapted to this remote landscape over generations.
The park is accessible by provincial road, with the visitor center serving as the main starting point for exploring the area. It is best to arrive by personal vehicle and plan your visit during daylight hours to make the most of the terrain.
The lagoon acts as a critical stopover point for migratory birds, bringing a remarkable variety of species that visitors might not expect in this remote location. Depending on the season, the water draws birds from across South America that are rare to see in most other places.
