Chaco Province

The Chaco Province spans 99,633 square kilometers of land characterized by subtropical forests, savannas, and diverse wildlife across its varied landscapes.

The territory gained provincial status in 1951, following centuries of indigenous settlements and Spanish colonization attempts dating back to the 16th century.

Three indigenous languages - Kom, Moqoit, and Wichí - share official status with Spanish, reflecting the strong presence of native communities in the region.

The provincial capital Resistencia connects to major Argentine cities through National Routes 11 and 16, serving as the main transportation hub.

The province generates most of Argentina's cotton production, with extensive fields stretching across its eastern and central agricultural regions.
