Food in Chaco
Indulge in the pleasure of discovering natural riches and cultural traditions merged in the Chaco cuisine.
Do you know the province of Chaco? Discover it from the flavors and the aromas of its typical dishes. Did you know that there are three gastronomic territories here? Each of them is different due to the crops, the cultural wealth, and the influence of its immigrants. In the north, visit the Monte Impenetrable (“the Impregnable Forest”). Near the Paraná river, El Río is waiting for you. And in the central area, find La Chacra, where you will find a large European tradition.
Have you tasted locro? Enjoy this traditional stew combining cereals, legumes, and beef. Also taste the jerky and meat empanadas, guiso carrero and chipá guazú, barbecue on the spit and dishes prepared with fish, torta cañón and the chipá buns made with cassava flour. And, to drink, do not miss pisco tonic. Live this food experience in the Litoral region.
