In 1998, this natural reserve resulted from an agreement between Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL) and Fundación Hábitat & Desarrollo.

The Foundation gave priority to a natural site close to Santa Fe City, in order to develop a protected area with the aim of preserving the Parana River island landscape in a reservoir and developing conservation and environmental interpretative activities.

Hours: Wednesday to Sunday from 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.
