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

The Chaco - visit a new world.... Just before sunrise, we will leave Asunción to a very brief visit of the FASCINATING PARAGUAYAN CHACO.

The trip will take us along the Trans Chaco highway, where we will see infinity of wild birds (storks, geese, wild ducks, and many more) as well as the exuberant vegetation of the Lower Chaco. Many ranches will be seen from the road. Before initiating our return, we will regain forces with a typical "MEDIA MAÑANA" (late breakfast

Millions of palms and birds....

With million palms, countless birds (mainly different kind of storks, heron and grab birds, ibis, parrots and wild ducks, snipes) many cattle (mainly a breed of Cebus and their crossing results with other types of cattle). Good possibilities to see in the wild, armadillos, raccoons, foxes, wolfs, etc.

The Chaco tour - and a fotosafari at the same time

We continue our way upt to km 125 on the Transchaco road. The way back will be on the same way, always with the chances to observe more of not yet described Flora and Fauna. We can give no guarantee of the presence of different species but our guide has enough experience to offer you a maximum whithin this possibilities during the short view in the Chaco.

Duration: approx. 5 hours (can last longer) The tours into the Chaco are planed as fotosafaris

City-Tour - Asuncion

During this city tour you will see the contrast between a modern city and the relics of the past (colonial time). Besides the shopping centers and the old part of town we will visit noble districts as well as modest ones. On the way you can compare the central market with modern shopping centers and malls.

INCLUDED: Transport and guide DURATION: 3 hours

The calm, the restfulness and the contrasting wild nature blend into forming the character of this country in which we live. It is the moment in which we again feel for the country. Sentiments that we believed had been relegated into oblivion are re-vitalised through the unique scenery, the people and its still virgin nature.

The following year I booked an adventure trip to Paraguay. There I had the chance to take part at a cattle trail. Wow, this was something! The greatest experience of my life (after I got used to the horrible dust and my wound butts.)

In between I was there for 12 times. The romantique camp-fires in the evening will beat every trip to the Caribbean. And if a cowboy will take his guitar and sing a melancholy song - that's just perfect. I am still hearing the chirps of the cicadas.   HOME
