San Rafael National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional San Rafael) is a proposed national park in Paraguay covering an area of Atlantic Forest, grasslands, and wetlands. Though it was declared in 1992 that the area was to be reserved as a national park, no further steps have been taken to formalize its status. The area is under threat both from large-scale farming and from small slash-and-burn farmers.
