Visit Chaco

The Chaco of Argentina is a vast region of grassland, savannah, and rainforest spanning over 500,000 square kilometers in the northwest part of the country. It is home to an immense variety of flora and fauna and contains some incredibly unique landscapes. The Chaco can be a great destination for nature lovers looking to explore the many species that inhabit this region.

One popular tourist destination in the Chaco is Ibera National Park. This protected area covers over 1.4 million hectares and contains wetlands, subtropical forests, and lagoons filled with amazing wildlife like capybaras, caiman crocodiles, and hundreds of bird species.

In addition to its natural beauty, the Chaco has interesting historical significance as well. During World War II it was home to battles between Argentine troops defending against infiltration from Nazi sympathizers coming from Bolivia. Today there are several memorials scattered throughout the area that commemorate this important event in Argentina's past.
