Chaco and Formosa trip, 2022

Getting ready – three weeks to go

From 18 August to 15 October I am planning a trip through north-central Argentina. The purpose is to enjoy the people, culture and food and drink of the area, and to see and photograph some of the birds and wildlife of these regions

Overview of the trip

This combination of maps and itinerary give the general plan of where I intend to go. However, I do not intend to be a slave to it so it should be seen as a best intentions rather than set in stone. In particular, I’d be happy to make contact with anyone living on route if they want to get in touch with me.
