This park is distinguished by it's abundance of beautiful
trees typical to our country: the Araucarias. These majestic trees
are between 600 and 1200 years old, sufficient enough to realize the
ephemeral of our existence. This paradise was declared a
protected area in 1950 and is an excellent place for nature lovers
to come into contact with the secrets and attractions of our
land.
Here we will find beautiful crystalline lagoons surrounded by
native forests and sharp mountains, in addition to hawks,
woodpeckers, black necked swans, varieties of ducks, pumas and South
American culpeo foxes among others.
