Los Copo National Park is located in the northeast of Santiago del Estero Province, established in 1998, covering an area of 1142.5 square kilometers. It was created to protect the endangered flora and fauna in the region and to provide a comfortable environment for their survival and reproduction.

Los Copo National Park has an arid climate with an annual precipitation of about 500 to 700 millimeters. The majority of the park is covered by forests, with the red Quebracho tree being the most common and unique species. This tree contains a high amount of tannic acid. In other areas of Argentina, this tree is facing unprecedented logging, with only 20% remaining. Endangered animals living in the national park include the maned wolf, jaguar, giant anteater, pampas deer, armadillo, Chacoan peccary (a rare wild pig discovered decades ago), and talking parrots.
