Chaco of Bolivia
The southeastern corner of Bolivia is nothing like the other regions. This area is a continuation of the Gran Chaco of Paraguay and is a flat territory of scrubland, thorny trees and is relatively uninhabited. The area is a haven for wildlife and native flora and was in dispute with Paraguay during the Chaco War.

This river runs through a stretch of territory between Bolivia and Paraguay known as the Chaco Boreal."
