Argentina
In the heart of the Andes, this park is a pristine haven where crystal-clear waters embrace the rugged landscapes, creating an enchanting Patagonian paradise.
Home to the endangered pudú and huemul, Lago Puelo National Park serves as a vital link between Argentina and Chile, preserving a unique natural environment. The mesmerizing turquoise hue of Lake Puelo is a result of sedimentation from glacier fields and snowfields, originating from the Turbio, Azul, and Epuyén Rivers. As these waters cascade into the Pacific Ocean through the Puelo River, the park becomes a sanctuary where the Chilean Valdivian rainforest extends into Argentine territory. The lush forest, adorned with Patagonian cypresses and coihues, creates a vibrant tapestry up to the lake's edge, establishing a microclimate that invites warm summer days for beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts. The park's unique patagua or pitra trees, akin to the Chilean myrtle, form an intricate web, adding to the park's mystical atmosphere. Lago Puelo National Park is not only a visual feast but also a refuge for the endangered huemul, with its most significant population calling this park home. Visitors can explore various trails, discovering white beaches and transparent waters, making every hike a fascinating experience. The park offers guided horseback rides, lake tours, and angling, ensuring an array of activities for nature enthusiasts.
