About
Quick facts: Millions of years ago, glaciers carved the rugged landscapes seen today, leaving behind fjords and turquoise lakes. The park spans over 528,000 hectares, where unique flora and fauna thrive, including the endangered Huemul deer.
Highlights: Witnessing the clear night skies reveals constellations brighter than in many other parts of the world, thanks to minimal light pollution. The lenga beech forests inside the park turn deep red during fall, a spectacular sight stretching over miles.
Insider tips
- Dress in layers to adjust to swiftly changing mountain weather.
- Capture the red lenga trees in mid to late April for stunning autumn colors.
- Start hikes early to avoid crowds and catch peaceful wildlife moments.
- Skip the busiest weekends to enjoy solitude and less traffic.
