Argentina Tours & Travel | Copo National Park

The 282,300-acre Copo National Park was declared a provincial park in 1998 and gained national park status in 2000 to protect the habitat of several endangered species. Should you wish to visit the park when you travel to Argentina, you'll find it located in the Chaco eco-region of Santiago del Estero Province. Its emblematic tree is the red Santiago Quebracho, sought after for its strong wood and tannin, though in this area, the species did not suffer the same devastation from commercial de-forestation and cattle grazing as elsewhere in the country.

The park provides habitat to the critically endangered jaguar and is home to the giant anteater, the giant armadillo and the pig-like Chacoan peccary, unique sights for those on Argentina tours. The most important bird species inhabiting the park is the blue-fronted parrot.; The climate is warm and dry. Though camping is allowed for travelers on Argentina tours, there are no visitor services in the park.
