The project was aimed at the construction of buildings and spaces needed to locate the premises of the Tucuman University within a nature reserve.
Due to the passage of time and the high budget required for such a large project, the plan slowed down and slowed down until, in 1955, the new national authorities ordered the cancellation definitively.
It was in 1973, through a resolution of the Rectorate of UNT, that the Sierra San Javier Natural Reserve Biological Park was created. Since then, the Park has the function of caring for natural resources, taking care of the research and dissemination of environmental care.

For this reason, a visit to this majestic space involves entering not only the nature of the province of Tucumán, but also the roots of its history.
