El Impenetrable National Park in Chaco Province safeguards some of the last remaining forests of carob, palo santo, and quebracho trees; grasslands, marshlands, and lakes of the Argentine Chaco; and endangered species such as giant armadillos, giant anteaters, and jaguars.

To celebrate ten years since its creation, we set ourselves a new goal: welcoming 5000 adventurers who seek to experience the wild nature of our country and become part of a new economy that benefits people and wildlife.

Become one of the 5000 adventurers promoting a new restorative economy in the forests and jungles of the Dry Chaco!

A Destination with a Triple Impact

Nature tourism has a triple positive impact: it helps conserve nature, improves the wellbeing of local communities, and permanently transforms the visitor, who becomes an essential piece of new restorative economies based on nature tourism.

Natural parks are an engine driving economic and social resurgence when they are open and have public access points as well as the infrastructure to receive visitors, such as trails, shelters, and campgrounds—all of which you can find at El Impenetrable.

In these parks and the surrounding areas, nature tourism promotes the creation of a virtuous circle between conservation and local development, in which natural ecosystems full of abundant wildlife support new economies based on wildlife-watching.

This way, the income of communities is more equitable and better distributed: women, men, adults, and youths alike contribute their knowledge of traditional customs and local wildlife, even as they improve their education and training for this new economic activity.
