Parque Nacional Teniente Enciso, National park in Boquerón Department, Paraguay
The park spans 40,000 hectares of dry Chaco land with dense forests containing white quebracho trees and samu'u palms across its terrain.
Multiple trenches and paths within the park boundaries remain from the Chaco War that occurred between 1932 and 1935.
The park represents the natural heritage of Paraguay's Gran Chaco region, where traditional cattle ranching practices influence the surrounding landscape.
Due to its remote location and limited facilities, visitors need to bring their own supplies and arrange transportation in advance.
The protected area contains specific xerophytic vegetation formations that create an impenetrable forest system with thorny characteristics.
