The Gran Chaco, Land without tourists

A land flat, thorny and sweltering, for centuries, occupied just for a few hardy indigenous tribes. However, it is a quirky and beautiful if melancholy landscape, rewarding for those who are seeking out wilderness places in an increasingly developed and accessible world. 

The great plain that extends in the western half of Paraguay, is the Gran Chaco. 

Despite having nearly two-thirds of the country it is home to just 3 per cent of the population. 

Some parts still inhabited by indigenous hunter-gatherers and elsewhere in the central area by curious Mennonite enclaves. 

It is also a Land without tourists.
