Argentina Tours & Travel | (Finca) El Rey National Park

Finca El Rey National Park was established in 1948 to preserve 1,089,000 acres of yungas and transitional environments. It derives its name from the old country house that served as an eastern border fort in the 18th century, ruins of which are located in the park. The area is home to the descendents of the indigenous inhabitants who once farmed here, making this a unique destination for Argentina tours. It is one of three national parks located in Salta Province.
