se dirigió al sur a investigar complejos turísticos para su artículo
So, why 'a investigar' was mentioned? Why not 'para investigar'? I suppose they meant to say: 'to investigate'

Both "a investigar( to investigate) and "para investigar (in order to investigate)" are correct.
Se dirigió al sur = He/she went to the South

Where did this sentence come from? I think it should be para investigar according to the grammar rules. Lets hope a native speaker can enlighten us more. Sometimes you can't go by a rule but have to depend on actual usage by a native speaker.

Translated the phrase is he went to investigate. " a" mean " to" here emphasizing movement
