Reserva Natural Tatí Yupí Adventures

Reserva Natural Tatí Yupí is situated in the Paraná River basin near the city of Hernandarias in Paraguay’s Alto Paraná Department. Covering a significant area of subtropical Atlantic Forest, it serves as a critical refuge for native flora and fauna, including several endemic and endangered species. The reserve was established to protect the region's biodiversity amid increasing deforestation and land conversion pressure. It features an extensive network of walking trails through dense forest, wetlands, and riverine habitats where visitors can observe birdlife, mammals, and unique plant species. Tatí Yupí’s landscape includes low hills, streams, and swampy ecosystems, making it a suitable location for ecological research, environmental education, and eco-tourism. Visitors can enjoy guided hikes, wildlife observation platforms, and interpretative signage that enrich understanding of the area's environmental importance. The reserve also plays a crucial role in water conservation, acting as a natural buffer for the nearby Yguazú River basin. Its accessibility from the nearby urban centers makes Tatí Yupí a popular destination for day trips and nature outings, contributing to raising awareness about Paraguay's natural heritage. Efforts by local and national agencies aim to maintain the reserve's integrity through habitat restoration, scientific monitoring, and community involvement.
