The Río Negro National Park is located in the northeast of the Alto Paraguay Department on the Bolivian border in Paraguay . It has an area of 1238 km² and is part of the Pantanal , the largest inland wetland in the world. The Paraguayan Pantanal is an extremely important ecosystem. The Río Negro National Park differs from the other alluvial areas in Brazil and Bolivia because it lies between two other ecoregions - Cerrado and Chaco Seco - which creates a unique biodiversity. It is also inhabited by the Ybytoso and Tomaraho indigenous tribes .

The climate in the Pantanal area is tropical with hot, rainy summers and dry, sunny and mild winters. The minimum nighttime temperatures between June and August are 17-18 ° C, during the day 27-29 ° C, and the maximum temperatures between October and January are 33 ° C. Most precipitation falls between November and March (115–180 mm), the least between May and September (45–55 mm). The annual rainfall is 1100 mm.
