Los Alerces National Park
A system of lakes linked by rivers that form dangerous rapids gives this park a particular physiognomy. The centre of this system is Futalaufquen Lake; towards the north of Esquel there are a number of other lakes such as Cisne, Menendez, Rivadavia, Verde, Kuger & Stange, Cholila and Puelo. The name of this National Park originated in the “Fitzroya Cupressoides”, tree of a 2.5-metre diameter and about 3000 years of age. more...
