Vegetation

Plants & farming★★★★

Dozens of palms with thin grey trunks and a fan of leaves on top (karanday, Copernicia alba) standing like a grove across dead-flat, waterlogged grassland means the lowlands along the Paraguay River (the Humid Chaco). You can see them around the entrance to the Trans-Chaco Highway (Ruta 9) and in the wetlands to the south.
