Capybara, the world’s largest rodent, grazing in Argentina's gated community of Nordelta. Silvina Frydlewsky For The Wall Street Journal
— By Silvina Frydlewsky and Kejal Vyas | October 10, 2021
TIGRE, Argentina — The lavish villas of Nordelta have for years hosted bucolic getaways for Argentina’s wealthy, protected in an enclave where industry titans and soccer stars seek escape from the torments of city life.
Yet even an exclusive gated community can’t keep out the world’s biggest rodent.
The capybaras living in Nordelta can reach 140 pounds. Picture a guinea pig the size of a St. Bernard with chompers like a beaver, an insatiable herbivore appetite and XXL-size droppings. They roam about in record numbers, munching on manicured lawns and scuffling with family pets. In August, a security camera caught a food-delivery worker getting knocked off his motorcycle after colliding with a capybara in a dark intersection.
The furry, water-loving creatures were there first—Nordelta was built on their wetland habitat—prompting awkward efforts at detente with the colossal rodents. Neighbors are split, viewing them as either vermin or victim.
“I’m not anti-capybara; I want to scratch their cute little bellies as much as anyone else,” said Gustavo Iglesias, a 62-year-old real-estate broker and longtime resident. “The problem is that their population is out of control, and people are too scared to do anything. No one wants to look like they’re opposed to nature.”
Mr. Iglesias’s lakeside garden gets a daily serving of jumbo scat dumped by the two dozen or so capybaras that lounge in his yard, he said. That was bad, but the last straw was when his dog Lucho limped home with a bloody pair of deep gashes that looked like the handiwork of rodent incisors.

Capybaras don’t look threatening. Their appearance—broad snout, round body—and generally laid-back temperament make them a favorite of visitors to national parks. A capybara family is featured in “Encanto,” an animated Walt Disney Co. movie that takes place in Colombia and debuts next month. They also star as a grilled delicacy in rural parts of South America.
The big rodents, which typically live in family units of as many as 40 animals, go by different names in various countries: chigüire in Venezuela, ronsoco in Peru, poncho in Panama and carpincho in Argentina. Females can give birth to half a dozen offspring a year.
The capybaras seem to enjoy the good life in Nordelta. They sunbathe and graze at man-made lagoons, protected from such natural predators as jaguars and caimans, the South American alligator.
Residents who find the capybaras a nuisance aren’t sure what they can do. Hunting the rodents requires approval from environmental regulators.
Dueling WhatsApp chat groups have formed in recent months—one pro-capybara, one against.
Tumblr media

In July, Anamá Ferreira, a Brazilian model living in Nordelta, posted a photo on Twitter of a bloodied capybara she said was hit with buckshot by a neighbor. Another resident posted photos of a capybara run over by a van.
Nordelta’s man-versus-nature saga is drawing national attention. Environmentalists tied to Argentina’s leftist government want the capybaras left undisturbed by the community’s affluent members.
“I was outraged by the Nordelta residents complaining,” said Adrián Mazza, a 47-year-old tour guide at a national park. “It’s the humans that invaded the capybara’s territory.”
Others said the rodents should be relocated, citing traffic accidents and the damage from capybaras chewing up lawns and palm trees. “We can’t have a wild animal living here, running around main streets,” said a 47-year-old teacher named Romina, who declined to give her last name.
Biologist and conservationist Talía Zamboni said she has seen few issues as polarizing: “These things always get divided between right and left, the rich and the poor, and here we have these little animals caught in between.”
Some environmentalists have cited the capybaras in Nordelta in urging lawmakers to advance long-delayed legislation barring development in Argentina’s wetlands.

Nordelta was built on the outskirts of the Paraná River Delta, north of Buenos Aires, after breaking ground in 1999. It was marketed as a safe, American-style haven for moneyed Argentines, including full-time residents. A slogan on Nordelta’s website promises “the tranquility of nature and the comfort of the city.”
The whopper rodents are testing how much nature residents really want. Mr. Iglesias said that after his dog was attacked two years ago, he spoke out about controlling the capybara population. His 36-year-old daughter, who also lives in Nordelta, opposed him.
“She thought I wanted to kill the capybaras!” he said. “On the contrary. I love living with them, as long as there’s a balance.”
Nordelta developer Eduardo Costantini recently sought to reassure Argentines in radio interviews that there were no plans to kill the animals. He also urged residents to find a way to live in harmony with the big rodents.
“The capybaras are defenseless and lovely beings that need care and love from us all,” Mr. Costantini wrote in a recent Instagram post. He declined to comment.
Tumblr media
Marcelo Canton, who runs Nordelta's residents' association, explains how neighbors on lakeside properties have had to coexist with increasing numbers of capybaras. Photo: Silvina Frydlewsky For The Wall Street Journal
The capybaras live mostly around premium waterfront properties, which make up about 15% of the 3,000 properties in Nordelta, according to residents. On a recent day, cyclists and runners swerved around capybaras blocking a park path while the animals chowed on grass.
Retired journalist Marcelo Canton, spokesman for a local neighbors association, said his group has proposed various plans to government regulators. One is to create a 500-acre reserve for capybaras in Nordelta. Another idea: Castrate males.
Getting heard by state wildlife officials has been impossible during the pandemic, Mr. Canton said. Meantime, the association put up road signs urging motorists and cyclists to watch for capybaras.
“It was very painful to see people accuse us of mistreating the capybaras, because we have a great amount of respect for them here,” Mr. Canton said, joined by a few of them as he spoke. “We invest a lot of money into making sure they’re safe.”

On the Trail of the Young Che Guevara
By Rachel Dodes Dec. 19, 2004
WILL ANTONIOU, a 17-year-old student from East Hampton, N.Y., is graduating early from high school. He was planning to take a six-month tour through Asia before starting college next fall at the University of Southern California. But after seeing Walter Salles's film "The Motorcycle Diaries," he changed his mind.
"I am going to South America," said Mr. Antoniou. "And what better route to take than the one Che did?"
The image of Ernesto Guevara, the Argentine revolutionary who became known as Che and helped Fidel Castro seize control of Cuba in the late 1950's, has inspired countless T-shirts, tattoos, posters and radical chic berets. Now, the early life of Che, as portrayed in "The Motorcycle Diaries," appears to be inspiring South American tourism.
Carolyn Midland, 25, was so moved by the film that she quit her job and moved to Buenos Aires. Granted, Ms. Midland was closer to the project than most people: she worked in publicity at Focus Features in New York, which distributed the movie.
"I saw the movie early on, and I knew I had to go," said Ms. Midland. Before moving at the end of October, she had never been to Argentina, but had spent 12 days in Peru last December. (Her last day of work was Sept. 24, the day of the film's release in the United States.)
"Latin America is on fire," said Todd Sotkiewicz, president of Lonely Planet Americas, the guidebook company, adding that passenger travel from the United States to Latin American destinations was up 22 percent in the first nine months of 2004, compared with the year-earlier period. Expecting a surge in South American tourism, Lonely Planet joined with Focus Features to produce a promotional guidebook that was handed out to moviegoers.
Mr. Salles, the film's director, said he was not terribly surprised that the movie -- based on Mr. Guevara's published journals by the same name -- is receiving such an enthusiastic response from adventure-seeking tourists. "The book is in itself an invitation not only to travel, but to experience and be changed and transformed by that experience," he said. "So if the film is generating the same kind of spirit I can only take it as a compliment."
Indeed, Mr. Salles himself had long wanted to follow the Guevara route by motorcycle. Thanks to the film, he got to follow the route three times -- twice for location scouting and once for filming -- but had to travel via 4x4 instead of on a motorbike.
"The Motorcycle Diaries," which has been described as "'Easy Rider' meets 'Das Kapital,"' traces the early travels of Che Guevara, then a 23-year-old medical student, and his friend Alberto Granado, a 29-year-old biochemist. Guevara and Granado left Buenos Aires in December 1951 on the back of a sputtering 1939 Norton 500 cc, dubbed "The Mighty One," and traveled for eight months -- covering more than 8,000 miles.
Guevara and Granado motorcycled as far as Santiago, Chile, and then hitchhiked and sailed their way north through Chile, Peru, Colombia and finally, Venezuela, where they parted ways as changed men. (Guevara went on to become a revolutionary and was ultimately captured and killed in Bolivia in 1967. Granado founded a medical school in Cuba, where he still lives.)
Whatever one's opinions of the latter-day politics of Che Guevara, Mr. Salles's film succeeds in capturing the rugged beauty and romanticism of the South American landscape -- a fact that some enterprising tourism companies have used to their benefit. For example, Journey Latin America, a London-based company, is promoting two "Motorcycle Diaries" Tours from Buenos Aires to Lima in 2005.
The trips, which do not involve any traveling by motorcycle, last three weeks and cost approximately $4,500 to $5,000 a person, not including air fare to and from South America.
Tim Walker, Journey Latin America's marketing manager, says interest in South American tours has increased sharply since the release of "The Motorcycle Diaries," in Britain in August. And bookings for South American tours are up 30 percent so far this year, he says.
Other tourism companies offer a more rugged interpretation of the journey. MotoDiscovery, based in Spring Branch, Tex., has been running motorcycle expeditions through South America for over 10 years. Its founder, Chip Mascorro, says the film "gives us another marketing hook."
Mr. Mascorro's next big tour, which starts in Santiago, Chile, on Jan. 16 lasts 32 days and costs $6,950, including the shipping of clients' motorcycles from Houston to Santiago. This trip is also much more luxurious than Guevara's: The rider-to-bike ratio is 1:1 -- as opposed to 2:1 for the Guevara-Granado journey -- and all travelers are equipped with "dual purpose" bikes, which feature enhanced suspension, enlarged fuel tanks, and high-traction tires for off-road riding. (Most riders either take a BMW R 1150 GS or a Kawasaki KLR 650; MotoDiscovery also offers rentals.) In addition, participants are accompanied by a support vehicle, which will carry luggage, food, and medical accoutrements.
Travelers should bear in mind that parts of the route followed by Guevara and Granado can still be dangerous, and that outside of the major metropolitan areas, knowledge of Spanish is very helpful. Tourists from North America should also remember that the seasons are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere, and June, July and August can be cold in parts of Argentina and Chile.
For hard-core Che Guevara enthusiasts, there is yet another option. On Oct. 4, the Bolivian government opened up the "Che Trail," which allows visitors to follow the path of Guevara's last march before he was captured in the village of La Higuera by the Bolivian Army.
Some are skeptical that tourists would be inclined to enter the heart of Bolivia to visit the site where Che Guevara was killed. "You have to really be a Che stalker to do that, really," said Mr. Walker of Journey Latin America.
But one can never be sure: Che Guevara also kept a diary while in Bolivia. And that diary is currently being made into another film, this time by the director Steven Soderbergh. The movie will feature Benicio del Toro in the starring role.
IF YOU GO:
Journey Latin America, (44-20) 8747 8315 or www.journeylatinamerica.co.uk, is offering three-week escorted Motorcycle Diaries tours (not by motorcycle) from Buenos Aires to Lima. Cost: $4,500 to $5,000, not including flights to and from South America. Dates: March 11 to April 3, and July 29 to Aug. 21. The company, which is based in Britain also offers tailor-made trips to any of the locations along the Guevara-Granado route.
MotoDiscovery, based in Spring Branch, Tex., (800) 233-0564, on the Web at www.motodiscovery.com, offers South American expeditions for experienced motorcyclists. The High Andes Expedition, for example, is a trip from April 4 to May 6, through Argentina, Chile, Peru and Bolivia for $6,950, including shipping of your bike.
The Che Guevara Trail in Bolivia, which opened in October, is a public-private initiative, backed by the relief organization CARE International and the Bolivian Ministry of Tourism, to bring visitors to the place where Guevara spent his final days. The trail's Web site is www.rutadelche.com.

Staying in the hotel tonight is a group of French bikers on brand new 500cc Enfield motorcycles. They are on a tour out of Aquaquipa with a support vehicle, they have good English so we’re all chatting, I spent most of the late afternoon with Andrew from UK who is self driving around Peru and is an ex rally sport engineer and used to work for Ford in Borham. All in all it looks a nice group to spend the night with as the temperatures are now starting to plummet.

In January 1950 he began his journey through several provinces in northern Argentina on a bicycle to which he had adapted a small engine. He toured over 4500 kilometers. El Grafico, a sports magazine in Argentina, published a picture of Ernesto on the motorbike he used for the journey. The company that manufactured the engine Ernesto adapted to his bicycle, tried to use it for advertising claiming it was very strong since Ernesto had gone on such a long tour using its power. On 29th December 1950 he started out on a long tour of several countries in Latin America with his friend Alberto Granado. They departed from the city of Cordoba on a motorbike they christened ?Powerful II?. In Chile, the motorcycle broke down and they had to leave it in Santiago and carried on their journey using other means of transportation. They both traveled and visited towns of Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. They covered a distance of 9000 kilometers. During this long trip, they visited the leper communities of Huambo and San Pablo and worked there, sharing the life with the sick ones.

damn ok 2019 is off to a... good start?
idk man I passed my drivers test easily, which I had been stressed about for like, idk, ever since I started drivers ed. which was December 2017.
this is the first time I haven’t been stressed about anything since then.
my finals went super well, my lowest grade being an A- in geometry, everything else was a breeze. (love how geometry is my worst class but my favorite okay moving on)
I’m, gasp, ready to go back to school? I like my classes a lot and I’m looking forward to my (probably) last art class of high school, painting, because junior and senior year electives are kind of filled up with ap stats and ap computer science, and those are both 2 semester courses:( maybe I can fit in ap art, I’ll see what I can do
I’m done with crushes, for the time being, I mean that doesn’t mean I don’t still feel kind of a lot for specific people, but I’m not gonna let it consume me. I dunno if I’m gonna continue on with friendship building, I just feel like I don’t, idk mesh with my high school friends. but I’ll work on my relationships with the people who live close to me and my old school friends.
I’m starting to get along a little better with my family, I just kind of wish my mom didn’t force me to hug her or touch me all the time since it makes me uncomfortable:/
my skin is kinda? clearing up? idk I’m a teenager whatever and I’m very okay with my appearance, I think I’m averagely pretty and I’m fine with my body, I could be a little more fit but if I told that to anyone they’d probably tell me to gain weight, honestly.
I have an out-of-state field hockey tournament coming up mid January, and I basically don’t have school all of January, what with another entire week off and extra days. I think my family might be going to Florida soon too. oh! and I think our big trip of the year will be to Peru, we’re planning the full ancient aliens tour lol
I might be going to a concert soon, I still haven’t used up my first song of 2019 on Spotify yet, and my music taste is slowly going alternative
I think I’m gonna get a skateboard soon, because I’ve just always wanted that, my dad might teach me how to ride a motorcycle eventually (if my mom lets me, uhhh) and I’ve got extra Christmas cash to buy some more clothes, since I where the same 3 outfits every day (although I wear a uniform at school obviously, so that’s why I don’t have that much clothes)
hmmm, there’s probably more to add, but this year is going to be great? I’m gonna be a junior, what the hell, and maybe someday I’ll figure out this existential crisis I’m constantly living in.
whelp, peace out

07JUL2020: I’m definitely looking forward to when the COVID19 pandemic is finally under control and I’ll be able to continue being a “biketouring ambassador”, though now my vehicle is an eBikeKit-assisted CruzBike. “SOLO CYCLING” is such an excellent solution to the social distancing requirements mandated by the current coronavirus pandemic. Many of these mapped routes were upon my beloved Doublevision, which, by August 2018, I had “aged out” and was no longer able to effectively/efficiently pedal it. However, that didn’t stop “My World Upon Wheels/reTIRED World (Bike)tour”; when able, I continue travelling and renting bicycles at numerous communities (so far ~6 continents). Notably, great GRASSHOPPER ADVENTURES helped me learn about/ultimately purchase my replacement bicycle: a single recumbent (CruzBike), retrofitted with a 26 * 1.5/48V29A Direct Drive eWheel(www.ebikekit.com). During my Third Annual First Quarter Odyssey [“Tierra del Fuego, 14JAN-09APR2020 (COVID19 truncated)], I returned to the USA by 16MAR2020, Gimpwalking over puente libre/Cordova Bridge/BOTA a few hours before the airports/borders closed. Unfortunately for YouTube “Itchy Boots” (Noraly was caught in the lockdown in Peru before the Netherlands government repatriated her/compatriots from LimaPERU) had to interrupt her Royal Enfield motorcycling around our Globe. Once the pandemic restrictions are lifted, she will continue the interrupted tour from Lima to Western Canada/Alaska (presumably up the haul road/Dempster Highway to Prudhoe Bay/Arctic Ocean?). She will eventually cross into the USA, and I am extending an enthusiastic invitation to Noraly to visit our “¡Hidden Gem of the World, Crossroads of North America, anchored by El Paso, Cd. Juárez y Las Cruces!” (at El Paso Texas/Juarez) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCXPqQMJlOB/?igshid=qxirpz3k6we9

Lessons On Motorcycle Touring Through Peru - An Indian Scout Sixty in the rugged Peruvian Andes. (Janelle Kaz/) Move and the way will open I told myself as I sat on my bike behind a rubble-strewn road closed off by a massive landslide. The only way that opened to me however devastatingly was to go back the direction I came. Moments like these sometimes left me feeling arrogant as though I could just show up in such a rugged country as Peru on a Scout Sixty and not face challenges. And perhaps ... by @iamspeedrunner.
