The floodplain of the Paraná river constitutes a wetland where the landscape is the result of continuous geomorphological and river processes that had place in the past and continue today. Because of its strategic location, it offers refuge, feeding, reproduction and breeding areas to different fish species, and constitutes an important place for the wide variety of living organisms that live in these waters.
Pre-Delta National Park is located southwest of Entre Rios Province – Argentina, on the left bank of the Paraná river, where the Paraná river forks in hundreds of meandering arms. At its northwest limit we can find this tributary.
The climate of the region is temperate-hot and humid, with an average annual temperature of 19 ºC and 900 mm of annual precipitation. There is more precipitation in the warm season and it is much drier in the cool season, so the relief, the depth and the transparency of the water depend of the floods.
