According to National Law No. 22,351, a National Park is an area intended for conservation in its natural state, representative of a phytozoogeographic region, which is distinguished by its scenic value or scientific relevance. These areas must be maintained without alterations, except those essential for their management, the attention of visitors or for reasons of National Defense linked to National Security.

To the north of the Province of Misiones, on the border with Brazil, are the majestic Iguazú Falls: one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and, without a doubt, one of the most spectacular places in Latin America. Both its location in the middle of the jungle and its enormous volume of water and numerous waterfalls make it an unforgettable site and a must-see on any trip to Argentina.[5]​.

The National Park was created in 1934 and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984. It also received the mention of Important Bird Protection Area (AICA).

Its high biodiversity and the Iguazú Falls make it one of the priority sites for national and international conservation. The jungle is dominant; However, the differences in soils, relief and water regime foster a great variety of environments.

In the highest and flattest places of the landscape, dense tall jungles appear with the stylized palmetto and the enormous rosewood. In areas of slopes or along streams, however, the jungles are lower, open and with reed beds. On the coastal strip of the upper Iguazú River and on the islands, riverine jungles appear, a little lower than the highland jungles and with some species typical of the coastal zone.[5]​.

The different strata of the jungle offer different options to the varied fauna that inhabits this Park: caí monkey, coati, serelepe or gray squirrel and more than 450 species of birds, such as toucans, a variety of colorful fruit bowls, noisy magpies and jotes. We can also, by its footprints, guess the presence of the yaguareté. In the water, some alligators, the viper-necked aninga or biguá and water turtles, along with numerous fish, are common presences.[5]​.

Before rushing through the 80-meter-high waterfalls, the Iguazú River runs with a width of 1,500 meters, dotting islands and islets. After the vertiginous jumps it ends in a deep canyon excavated by the same watercourse, which leads it to the Paraná River. The Iguazú Falls are a natural phenomenon of great beauty that earned them worldwide recognition.[5]​.

The Master Plan for Use and Management (hereinafter PRUG) is the main planning and regulation document of the National Park, and defines its management lines.

It is a basic document for managing a protected space that regulates the management of its resources, defines its limits and establishes its objectives for a specific period of time. A PRUG is, furthermore, a document that must be agreed upon by all sectors involved in the area to be protected (administrations, professional or individual user associations, local population, NGOs, etc.), but due to its complexity, it is difficult to understand for those not initiated in the subject.[6]​.

The Natural Resources Management Plan (PORN) sets the general guidelines for the Space. Therefore, another more specific instrument is necessary that allows the management, protection and conservation of the values ​​of the area, through the appropriate use and management of its resources, in order to guarantee sustained use in harmony with the development of the populations that inhabit it. This document is the PRUG, which is constituted as the basic management instrument for parks and natural reserves. [7]​.
