The
Province of Chaco shares a border with
Salta and
Santiago del Estero on the West, with
Santa Fe on the South, with
Formosa on the North and with
Corrientes on the East. Three important rivers are part of these divisions: the Bermejo, the Paraguay and the Paraná.
General Manuel Belgrano Bridge joins the capital city, namely
Resistencia, with the nearby
capital of Corrientes, which stands on the other side of the Paraná River, a few kilometers away from the mouth of the Paraguay River.
Resistencia is well-known as the "city of sculptures" because it features over a hundred outdoor figures its denizens feel proud of. They represent a meeting point for the locals. The International Sculptures Biennial held in Resistencia summons the most celebrated artists and sculptors from Argentina and every year it gains more and more followers.
For anglers, the National Dorado Fishing Festival on the island known as
Isla del Cerrito is one of the most outstanding events of the year. Likewise, the National Cotton Festival is held inland, at Presidente Roque Sáenz Peña, the thermal city of the province.
Chaco National Park was created in 1954. Ever since, it has preserved local wildlife. The jaguar still lurks this area and little by little, the place called
"chacau" or
chaco (hunting place) by the native dwellers has become a temple of nature we should always preserve.
