What it is

Every autumn the Neuland colony hosts a livestock fair that turned thirty in 2026 and hosted the National Brahman Expo, with hundreds of animals in the show ring. There are auctions, rodeo, parades, concerts and a showcase of the colony’s produce and culture. It’s a good time to visit the Chaco: the extreme heat is over and the roads are usually dry.

What to see and do

  • Brahman cattle in the show ring
  • Rodeo and parades
  • The colony’s museum and parks

Tips

Book accommodation months in advance; options are limited. Fortín Boquerón, a key Chaco War battlefield, is about 28 km away.

Dates may shift to the nearest weekend.
