Meanwhile, at Iguazú National Park, the concession company “Iguazú Argentina” has planned a series of activities for children and teenagers at the thematic center called “Jaguar Territory.”
The event will kick off at 9:00 AM with an opening ceremony attended by park authorities and researchers. Afterward, visitors will enjoy a range of fun, interactive activities, including puppet theater, outdoor games, face painting, and workshops.
The “Jaguar Territory” center, established just a year ago in collaboration with various public and private organizations, serves as an educational visitor center within Iguazú National Park. Managed primarily by the “Jaguar Project,” its main mission is to provide visitors with information to help promote the conservation of jaguar populations.
