Gualeguaychú (Entre Ríos) is advancing in its nature conservation policy, establishing itself as a regional reference in environmental management, sustainable recreation, and responsible tourism.
With a specific ordinance and a diverse network of protected areas, the city is developing a strategy that integrates environmental care with community well-being.
Protected Areas: an expanding green network
The network of preserved spaces includes:
- Natural Reserve Las Piedras and Floristic Park (public).
- Monte Paths, La Serena del Gualeyán, and Termas del Guaychú (private initiatives).
- Unzué Park and the provincial reserves El Potrero and Isla Banco de la Inés.
These sites not only ensure the protection of biodiversity, but also promote environmental education, ecotourism, and recreation.
Ordinance 12.939/2024: a comprehensive regulation
The recent ordinance establishes environmental, educational, cultural, and social criteria, reinforcing the strategic value of these spaces within the Provincial System of Protected Natural Areas.
Fernando Zubillaga, Tourism Director at El Argentino portal, stated: “Visitors choose Gualeguaychú for its accessible nature and the opportunity to reconnect with the environment. Today, we are one of the most recognized cities in the region for our environmental commitment, which also drives tourism.”
Sustainable tourism: a vision for the future
Every trail, reserve, and tree cared for is part of a State policy, transforming the natural environment into a driver of development and quality of life.
This effort is part of a provincial context, with initiatives such as the creation of the Provincial Natural Park of Islas y Canales Verdes del Río Uruguay, in Colonia Elía, with 4,006 hectares dedicated to conservation.
With these actions, Entre Ríos strengthens its leadership in environmental protection, consolidating an integrated model of sustainability and community well-being.
