Located in the province north-east depressed plain, the Laguna
de Mar Chiquita or Mar de Ansenuza is a huge lagoon (6,000 m2) of

river Petri or Dulce which cover an area of 10,000 km2 to the north.
This area offers a great diversity of environments (high coasts, low coasts, swampy
ground, beaches), all of which promote a huge variety of birds (specially the pink flamingo) with
Chaco forest and saline habitats.
The area has been proclaimed Provincial Natural
Reserve and Hemispheric Site of the Organisation of Reserves for Beach Birds.
The town of Miramar, on the south shore of the Laguna, has a specialised centre on mud-balneotherapy.
Natural resources, balneology, recreational activities (environment interpretation, fauna watching, water sports, fishing),
make this area a special tourist
destination.
