Paddling near Las Lomitas, Formosa

Las Lomitas sits in the heart of the Argentine Gran Chaco, in western Formosa province, where the vast Pilcomayo floodplain shapes the landscape. The area's signature paddling destination is the Bañado La Estrella, one of South America's largest wetlands, accessible at El Vertedero just 45 kilometres from town. Canoe trips through its flooded champal forests are the defining on-water experience of the region.
