Argentina Tours & Travel | Rio Pilcomayo National Park

The 118,000-acre Rio Pilcomayo National Park was established in 1951 to protect the vegetation of the humid Chaco eco-region bordering Paraguay. It is located in Formosa Province along the Pilcomayo River, if you wish to visit the park when you travel to Argentina. Its extensive waterways including rivers, marshes, lagoons, along with its largest body of water, Laguna Blanca, are protected by the Ramsar convention treaty. The park also contains woodlands and gallery forests.

The park's rainforests provide habitat for three monkey species. The endangered aguara guazu fox with red fur and black legs, the raccoon-like oso malero (honey bear) and the coati also inhabit the park. Other species you might see in the park on Argentina tours include the endangered caiman, the semi-aquatic carpincho (capybara) and the small yacare alligator. Among the park's bird species are herons and three types of storks including the flamboyant Yaribu with distinctive white plumage and red and black neck. The indigenous people who inhabit the area today are Tobas.; For visitors on Argentina tours, there are camping facilities near the park with tables, toilets and fireplaces. Boating and hiking are allowed. The closest town is Laguna Blanca.
