The Arroyo Pepirí Miní o Yabotí Guazú is a significant river system flowing through the heart of Misiones Province in northeastern Argentina, draining into the Río Uruguay just downstream of the famous Saltos del Moconá. The river originates in the Sierra de Misiones near the locality of Paraíso in the Departamento de Guaraní, and from its confluence with the Arroyo Fortaleza onward, it forms the boundary between the Departamento de Guaraní and the Departamento de General Manuel Belgrano before turning southward to meet the Río Uruguay. The watershed is one of the most extensive in the province and sits within one of Argentina's best-preserved natural ecosystems, protected by the Reserva de la Biósfera Yabotí, the Parque Provincial Moconá, and the Parque Provincial Esmeralda. The surrounding landscape is dominated by dense Paranaense (Atlantic Forest) jungle, with steep slopes characterizing much of the terrain and 95% of the reserve covered by laurel and guatambú forest, with emergent trees reaching up to 30 meters in height. This is genuinely wild, remote fishing in one of South America's most ecologically intact river systems.

The river originates in the Sierra de Misiones near Paraíso, where steep gradients and dense jungle canopy define the character of the water. This upper section is characterized by fast-moving water, rocky substrate, and the influence of the surrounding Atlantic Forest, with the river cutting through rugged terrain with significant elevation changes.
Middle Section — Yabotí Biosphere ReserveAs the river descends and is joined by its principal tributaries — the Arroyo Yabotí Miní, Arroyo Garibaldi, and Arroyo Yabotí Guazú Este — the river broadens and the gradient moderates. This middle section flows through the core of the Reserva de la Biósfera Yabotí, where the river corridor is flanked by intact Paranaense forest and the watershed remains largely undisturbed.
Lower Section — Approach to the Río UruguayIn its lower reaches, the Arroyo Pepirí Miní o Yabotí Guazú flows southward toward its confluence with the Río Uruguay, entering near the Saltos del Moconá. This section transitions into the broader floodplain environment of the Uruguay basin and offers access to species that move between the two river systems.
