Filtering Water in Caco, Argentina with Federico Cabrera

"In September 2015 I rode through “El Impenetrable” (Chaco, Argentina) for the first time, in order to make, print, & give away family portraits at remote communities.  

El Impenetrable is one of Argentina’s most remote & wild areas (40.000 km2) at the border with Paraguay, where is still possible to find large mammals such as jaguars, pumas, maned wolves, giant armadillos, tapirs, 3 species of peccaries, and giant anteaters. And the waters shelter alligators, yellow anacondas, & piranhas.

During that trip I was able to check first handed the local communities’ struggle to get clean drinkable water (unfortunately just in Latin America 100,000 people die every year due to water contamination). Three years later, I was finally able to return to “El Impenetrable” to donate water filters & solar lights, to those who need them most!" - Federico Cabrera
