Paddling near Tartagal, Salta

Tartagal sits in the subtropical Chaco-Yungas transition zone of northeastern Salta province, where the Río Tartagal flows through town and the larger Río Bermejo runs not far to the east. Paddling in this corner of Salta is river-based — flatwater stretches and moving water through lowland jungle terrain rather than the mountain whitewater associated with the Andean west of the province.
