Parque provincial Laguna Pintascayo, Provincial park in Salta Province, Argentina.
The Laguna Pintascayo Provincial Park covers 12,139 hectares of land, featuring subtropical forests, wetlands, and the Pescado River along its western border.
The artificial diversion of the Iruya River in 1865 created erosion patterns that formed the canyon where Laguna Pintascayo now sits.
The name Pintascayo originates from Quechua language, meaning either a reed bed or a fishing instrument used by indigenous communities.
The park experiences temperatures ranging from 14°C in winter to 24°C in summer, with annual precipitation reaching 2,000 millimeters.
The protected area houses jaguars, tapirs, caimans, capybaras, and numerous bird species within its dense riverside forests of local willow and cherry trees.
