Selva

Selva Argentina, also known as the Argentine Rainforest, is a remarkable natural ecosystem located in northern Argentina. Spanning across the provinces of Misiones and Corrientes, this lush rainforest is part of the larger Amazon Rainforest system that extends throughout South America. The Selva Argentina is characterized by its rich biodiversity, vibrant flora and fauna, and stunning landscapes.

This magnificent rainforest is home to countless species of plants and animals, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. The dense vegetation of Selva Argentina includes tall trees, thick undergrowth, and an abundance of ferns, mosses, and orchids. These plants provide crucial habitats and resources for a wide variety of wildlife, including jaguars, tapirs, spectacled bears, howler monkeys, and a plethora of birds and insects.

The extraordinary ecosystem of Selva Argentina is largely protected within national parks and reserves. The most well-known of these is the Iguazu National Park, which encompasses the stunning Iguazu Falls. These immense waterfalls are one of the main attractions of the region, drawing visitors from all over the world to witness their awe-inspiring beauty. As the largest waterfall system in the world, the Iguazu Falls are a UNESCO World Heritage site and showcase the impressive power and magnificence of nature.
