El Palmar National Park protects the world’s largest continuous stand of the endangered yatay palm, with over 100,000 specimens spread across 8,500 hectares of open savanna. The park’s palm density reaches 1,200 trees per hectare, 50% higher than the average palm forest in Argentina, and its riverside location along the Uruguay River supports 30% more bird species than the typical park in Entre Rios. This 8,213-hectare sanctuary, established in 1966, offers a unique ecosystem where palms coexist with grasslands and gallery forests, a combination not found in #7 Calilegua’s cloud forests.
