HotelsFormosa is part of the geographic zone known as "chaco". Since 2004, the city has developed tourism-related activities, thanks to a program led my the Argentinean government which sends resources to this area, setting important festivities and celebrations there, as well as general tourism inside the province. Formosa gets its name from a river that runs in front of it. Its most important attraction is the city of the same name and the Pilcomayo national Park, which is only a few miles away.
