Chaco
Map of Argentina highlighting the province
Chaco is a province in the north of Argentina, near the border to Paraguay. Also known as the 'Green Hell', this region is known for its extreme weather conditions. Frequent droughts make for desert-like parts of the geography. Yet, torrential rains and occasional floods create areas of rainforest habitat. A variety of poisonous snakes inhabit the area, including other exotic wildlife such as crocodiles, monkeys, tarantulas, wild boars, anacondas, and rattlesnakes.
The capital is Resistencia on the Paraná River in front of Corrientes.
The people of Chaco are diverse. There are natives (guaranies, tobas, matacos, etc.) and folk of Spanish descent. Mennonites from Russia, Germany, and Canada have also made their home in the Chaco. The Mennonites (and many other immigrants as well) have transformed this 'Green Hell' into a productive farming region known for its milk and beef production. From 1950 to 1956, Chaco was named Presidente Juan Peron.
The province is divided in 25 departments (spanish departamentos).
