MALALCAHUELLO NATIONAL PARK

Great for trekking and other outdoor sports, Malalcahuello-Nalcas is one of the most beautiful National Reserves in Chile, with the Lonquimay Volcano towering in the background. Located North-East of the Araucania region, this reserve was created in 1931 and has 31.260 hectares of great biodiversity, native forests and a geography of volcanic origin. Among other beautiful species of trees like Roble, Raulí, Coigüe and Lenga that abound here, the Araucaria is the most astonishing - it has been called a "living-fossil", with some trees older than 1000 years old and a diameter of up to 1.80 meters. The reserve is ideal for adventure sports including trekking and hiking, skiing, mountaineering, sport fishing, horseback riding and more.
