GENERAL FEATURES	The essential peculiarity of this property is that it is within the Gran Pantanal System, which is the largest fresh water system in the planet. From this perspective, and taking into account the bio-strategic importance, the property offers an enviable perspective. Its 15 km of coastline on the left bank of the Paraguay River also place it in an unbeatable perspective, in view of the Proyecto Subcontinental de la Hidrovía.(American Waterway Project). Its proximity to the axis Puerto Murtinho (Brazil) - Puerto Carmelo Peralta (Paraguay), at distance of 80 km (50 miles) downstream from Fuerte Olimpo, also represents a tangible factor in the potential impact of any strategic planning. The last element to consider is its profile for ecotourism. The property has the Barrero stream that is born and dies in it and is the main product of the Nabileque fishing system, one of the seven component systems of the Gran Pantanal.

The abundance of streams and lagoons in the system, in addition to the wealth of pasture varieties of all kinds, including grasses and legumes, make it very suitable for the complete cycle of raising, rearing, and fattening of bovine animals and other species with very high productivity rates. The Riacho Barrero divides this area into two segments of the same characteristics. This is the area of excellence for ecotourism, due to its coastline or riverbank on the River Paraguay and Riacho Barrero. Innumerable flocks of birds, schools of fish and herds of wild animals such as marsh deer, carpinchos, Cure-i, the Tajik-ti, in addition to the species of reptiles such as crocodiles, anacondas and other, make this area a unique spectacle. The higher part, “altura” as is known by the locals, irrigated by countless streams and natural lagoons, some of them inexhaustible even in the worst prolonged droughts, all fed by the Rio Paraguay and the rains coming from the West or Central Chaco, Los Madrejones and the lagoon systems such as Laguna Gral. Diaz, Inmakata, etc..
