- Mirador de Paso Bravo: a short, steep walk up to a cliffside viewpoint that throws the whole park into view — wetlands, ribbon rivers and patchy forest. Best at sunrise or sunset when the light makes the water mirror everything; easy to reach and great for photos.
- Laguna Escondida: a calm freshwater lagoon tucked into the woods where you can watch kingfishers, herons and capybaras from the shore. Water levels change with the season, so in the dry months it’s a photographer’s dream; in the wet months it becomes a boating and birding hotspot.
- Sendero del Quebracho: a shaded trail through old quebracho and hardwood trees — massive trunks, thick roots and lots of insect life. It’s a good place to feel the park’s age and to spot woodpeckers, toucan-like birds and tiny reptiles; moderate effort,

- Sendero del Quebracho: a shaded trail through old quebracho and hardwood trees — massive trunks, thick roots and lots of insect life. It’s a good place to feel the park’s age and to spot woodpeckers, toucan-like birds and tiny reptiles; moderate effort, well-marked.
- Pampa y Bañados Trail: a longer loop that crosses grasslands into flooded marsh mosaic. The changing habitat makes it one of the best places for raptors, waders and small mammals; mornings are prime, and the trail can be muddy in the wet season so bring gaiters.
- Cañadón de las Aves (Bird Canyon): a narrow, tree-lined ravine where birds concentrate — warblers, tanagers and secretive understory species. Local guides know the hotspots here and can point out hard-to-find birds and their calls.
- Bravo River boat stretch: a gentle boat ride along the river that threads flooded forest and sandbars. You’ll get close looks at caiman, river birds and, if you’re lucky early or late, river otters. Great for photographers who don’t want long hikes.
- Nocturnal wildlife walks: guided night walks shine a light on frogs, owls, nightjars and the small mammals that disappear by day. Bring a headlamp with a red filter, strong insect repellent and a sense of patience — the action is slow but rewarding.
