Highlight

It protects the beginning of the Paraná river delta, with islands that appear and vanish with the river's flood regime

Declared in 1991, Pre-Delta protects the reach where the delta of the river Paraná begins to form, one of the largest deltaic systems in the world, with a landscape of river islands constantly appearing and vanishing with the river's flood regime, in an active geomorphological process that goes on shaping the park's landscape year after year.
