An area of interest to visitors is the Copo National Park in the northwestern dry-chaco region. The park was created in 1998 to protect endangered species, among them jaguars, parrots and anteaters. The quebracho colorado santiagueno tree, which at one time made up 80% of scrubland in the region and today stands at 20%, is also protected in the parkland.

The climate is subtropical, hot and dry. Summer temperatures range from 64-97 Fahrenheit (18-36 Celsius) and 45-75 Fahrenheit (7-24 Celsius) in winter.

Flights can be arranged from other cities in Argentina utilizing the Vice Comodoro Angel Aragones Airport outside of the capital (airport code SDE). You can also find and compare rates for hotel accommodations and package deals in the province.
