Thays planned the creation of the Iguazú National Park, which came to reality in 1934 a few months later the mayor gardener passed away. He gave birth to this idea to protect the subtropical jungle of Misiones, as well as developing this area in economical, social and cultural aspects and securing an image of beauty from panoramic views.

Likewise turism is furnished conjointly with population settlement distributed in a radial design. In this work, we propose the investigation of how Thays consolidated the representation of nation through the protection of natural assets, mainly with the Iguazú National Park. Jules Charles Thays llegó de Francia a la Argentina y construyó parques y plazas públicas en todo el país, así como jardines de estancias y de residencias. El urbanista también estuvo al frente de la Dirección de Parques y Paseos de Buenos Aires por más de dos décadas (1891- 1913). Además, proyectó la creación del Parque Nacional Iguazú, que se realizó en 1934, meses después que el jardinero mayor de Buenos Aires falleciera. Lo hizo para proteger la selva misionera subtropical, desarrollar la región, desde lo económico y lo socio-cultural, y afianzar la imagen de belleza panorámica. Su proyecto consolidó la soberanía nacional en la zona de frontera; permitió el avance de la energía hidráulica y facilitó el turismo al tiempo que la instalación de un casco urbano poblado con diseño radial. El presente trabajo indaga sobre el modo en que Thays fortaleció una representación de la propia nación mediante la protección del patrimonio natural, en particular a través de las ideas para el Parque Iguazú.
