"Under
the volcanoes, next to the glaciers, between the great lakes,
the perfume, the silence, the entanglement of the Chilean forest"
this is how the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda described his native
Araucania Region.

The Huerquehue National Park, 35km from
Pucon is probably what Pablo was describing... With its lagoons, Araucaria
forests, trees at least 10 centuries old, canyons, cascades and the
list goes on... Come and discover this luxuriant nature which will
surely charm any excursion amateur.
