In Gualeguaychú we had the opportunity to carry out an interpretive walk, and this way to know the flora and the fauna that it conforms the particular transition ecosystem in this latitude of the province of Entre Ríos .
In visits previous to the city of the carnival, we had listened about the Provincial Reservation The Stones and of the masterful chats that Neighborhoods offer people that are interested to each other in the interrelation of the organisms, educating with conscience, to have a bigger responsibility with the environment.
As we didn't want to allow to pass the occasion, we go for the route provincial nº 20, to fifteen kilometers of downtown, until the one mentioned reservation where is carried out the senderismo.
The reservation that we were knowing is in a property of 300 hectares , of which 40 are only dedicated to interpretive walks of the nature. The path is frequently visited by numerous students of primary, secondary schools and universities that have in its study plan the care and the interpretation of the environment.
This region is characterized by the great variety of vascular plants and after putting on shoes the rubber boots we begin to traffic the path.
The circuit to travel is not extensive, but we will go stopping to observe the most significant species in the area
Quickly we were surprised a talinum leaf. This species possesses an important nutritious value, being frequently consumed in Asian countries. Detailedly we observe their parallel nervaduras.
While we traffic, we observe characteristic trees of the missionary forest or paranaense, only these forests are more impoverished by the variation of the climate in these latitudes. Between the climbings and exotic lianas we highlight the denominated honeysuckle.
We come closer until the coast the river Gualeguaychú and we appreciate the great quantity and variety of plants, many of them with their sprouts. "These rebrotes is given thanks to the action of the continuous humidity that you/they receive from the near torrent of water, making that the forest is constantly" renewed. . our guide pointed out.
We continue walking, always for the suitable path, and we stopped to know different typical trees of this region, as the cedrón of the mount, the carbonillo and the molle. among the most outstanding.
Ahead we observe another matter it plants, the ververis that possesses an important value for the one spawns of endemic butterflies.
We continue for the path, this time to traffic an area of mixed mount, where species xerófilas appear. you plant that adapt to the drought. with species of marginal forests.
Suddenly, a brilliant green took possession of our attention: it was some líquenes on a fallen trunk. Their texture seemed that of a carpet spread in the means of the forest. "The líquenes. Daniel explained. they plows catalytic biological, they it plows organisms simbióticos. To the plant in the one that you/they lean on don't make him anything, they take the nutrients that are in the bark of the tree that is a dead fabric. They are so sensitive to the atmospheric pollution that if there is contamination they would disappear at once."
Then we begin to skirt a bend for where the water circulates. We observe very beautiful sandbanks. We learned that those responsible for these formations inside this habitat are the plants denominated sarandíes. Soon we listen some screeches coming from some river wolves. Among the mammals of this area they stand out the ferrets, mountain cats, pajonal cats, weasels ovaries and red, red deer and axis. these last ones introduced in the area. The vipers that are usually in the region, mainly in summer, they are those of the cross and the yararás, besides multiple spiders.
We continue this way for great part of the path, contemplating the wonderful ecosystem gualeguaychense. The important of this activity is that teaches to the individuals to have a bigger responsibility with what surrounds them.
We culminate the very happy walk with the lived experience. The best in this activity is the state of fullness that feels, when one is mimicked with the atmosphere. Silences and greeneries will be forever, when evoking our step for the Provincial Reservation The Stones. |
