About Parque Provincial Moconá

Parque Provincial Moconá
 

Located in the province of Misiones, Argentina, Parque Provincial Moconá is a remarkable protected area known for its parallel waterfalls, which run along the Uruguay River. These waterfalls, called 'Salto del Moconá,' stand out because they run longitudinally instead of the usual perpendicular fall of most waterfalls. The park is part of the larger Yabotí Biosphere Reserve, encompassing subtropical rainforest teeming with diverse flora and fauna. Visitors to Parque Provincial Moconá can enjoy activities such as hiking through verdant trails, kayaking along the river to get an up-close view of the falls, and observing the rich birdlife that inhabits the park. The area also hosts several endangered species, making conservation efforts crucial to its preservation. The park's history is deeply tied to the indigenous Guarani peoples, who have lived in harmony with the environment for centuries. Parque Provincial Moconá offers both adventure and tranquility for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and those seeking to connect with Argentina's natural wonders.
