Fortín Boquerón

Chaco War battlefield and museum complex with preserved trenches

Fortín Boquerón is one of the most important Chaco War sites, remembered for the fierce 1932 siege in which Paraguay retook the fort from Bolivian forces. The site now has a museum complex with photographs, weapons, memorials, and surviving defensive trenches.

The old trench line and small military cemeteries make the battlefield easier to understand than a museum room alone. Go with a guide if you can, and treat it as a serious excursion from Filadelfia or Neuland: the heat, distance, and Chaco roads matter.
