Scientific Monument Moises Bertoni

The Moisés Bertoni Scientific Monument is a protected natural area, museum, and historic site in Presidente Franco District, Alto Paraná Department, Paraguay. Established on 13 April 1955, the site covers 199 hectares (about 492 acres) and lies approximately 26 kilometres (16 miles) from the city of Presidente Franco. The monument preserves the former residence and research site of Moisés Santiago Bertoni, a Swiss-born naturalist who lived and worked in Paraguay from the late 19th century until his death in 1929. Bertoni conducted research in botany, anthropology, meteorology, and related fields, much of it in collaboration with Guaraní communities. The site now functions as a museum and conservation area, holding historical buildings, archival materials, and a section of protected Atlantic Forest along the Paraná River.
