National Parks

The last national park  I visited was Alerce andino this park is located in the X region of the Lakes, in the province of Llanquihue.

I visited this park in january of this year during the summer practice, and it was a great experience because despite walking a lot I knew a wonderful place.

The Alerce Andino National Park is part of the Reserve of the Biosphere Temperate Rainforests of the Southern Andes, And in this place it is possible to protect different species of fauna like, pudú, cougar, güiña, monito del monte, Condor, the black carpenter and huet-huet.

The fauna present in this park is constituted mainly of Fitzroya cupressoides (alerce), but there are also other species like Nothofagus nítida (Coihue de Chiloe), Nothofagus betuloides (Coihue de Magallanes), Nothofagus pumilio (Lenga), Podocarpus nubigenus (Mañio) and Drimys winteri (Canelo).

Inside the park there are different paths (which are not connected together) and these have duration of several hours.

When I went to the national park we walk by the path to the cold lagoon (we walk for a long time) but it was fun at the same time because I was going with my friends, and at the end, when we arrived at the lagoon we ran to refresh ourselves and swim while we admired the beautiful landscape.
