Río Pilcomayo National Park is a protected natural area in the Chaco region of northern Argentina. The park includes areas of flat grasslands that flood seasonally as well as permanent wetlands along the shores of the Pilcomayo River (which constitutes the international border with Paraguay). The wetlands provide habitat to a number of aquatic bird species as well as alligators and a number of mammals and shorebirds. The park is a designated Ramsar site.
