The Chaco forest and one of Argentina’s largest wetlands in a single journey

This journey combines two little-known environments of remarkable natural value: the forest of Chaco National Park and the rivers, lagoons and gallery forests of the Jaaukanigás Ramsar Wetland.

Over four days we walk interpretive trails, navigate inner channels of the wetland and visit historic towns deeply connected to the Chaco forest.

This trip is designed for travelers who enjoy observing, understanding and exploring nature at an unhurried pace, in small groups and accompanied by local guides.
