A SHORT VISIT TO THE CHACO

THE CHACO

The Chaco, generally so called the entire western part of Paraguay, from the Paraguay river to the boundary with Argentina and Bolivia in the west and the north. Seventy years agou still unknown, mysterious, intriguing and wild - also called the Green Hell. After that, because of assumed oil deposits the chaco war with Bolivia started. Almost at the same time the Mennonits, which made a particularly milk-economically meaning center from an inhospitable region owing to their diligence, immigrated to this region. So this forgotten region came into the footlights. Mentioned by may persons still Green Hell, the Chaco with its rich Fauna, in particular its immense bird wealth and with its specific Flora and millions of palms, has fascinated a lot of visitors.
 

The temperatures in the Chaco are very variable (from proximity freezing point up to over 50 degrees Celsius), and who says that it does not rain in the Chaco, was convinced at least during the nature phenomenons of the NIÑO.
The Chaco is a synonym to adventure and excitement, combined with certain risk. Over the risks you will be informed from our experienced tour guide, so that a trip to this national area becomes a tremendous experience. Persons who are not attracted by adventure will not like the Chaco and they would better desist from a visit.
