El Palmar National Park in central-eastern Entre Ríos was created in 1966 over some 85 square kilometres to protect the yatay palm, the native palm that dots its plains in their thousands among grassland, small woods and streams flowing east into the Uruguay river. Visitors walk or drive gravel tracks through the palm groves to viewpoints over the streams, a beach on the river and a visitor centre. Wildlife is easy to see: woodpeckers, rheas, foxes, viscachas and capybaras. The palms at sunset are one of the province's best-known images. The park fee is paid at the entrance, and there is a campsite and facilities. Lying between Colón and Concordia, it makes a day trip from either.
