Approximately
20 thousand hectares of alerce forest situated in the mountain
zone of the Lakes Region. This conifer of slow growth and
excellent wood is endangered and this park is one of its
main refuges.
Although the
alerce (larch) is the dominant tree, the park also has other
species typical of Evergreen woods: coigüe, lenga, mañío,
tineo, canelo and tepa, among others.
The park also boasts around fifty little lagoons hidden
throughout the forests and mountains. Of them, the most
well known are the Sargazo, Chaiquenes, Triángulo, Fría
and Pangal lagoons. Also known for their beauty although
not within park limits are Lake Chapo and the Reloncaví
estuary.
The park has trails and refuges which allow you to get to
some of the areas less traveled of the park.
