Puyehue National Park

Like the other parks in this zone, Puyehue is characterized by its thick forests set on volcanic terrain, and the abundance of riverbeds and drainage valleys. The humid evergreen forest originated due to high rainfall, and it is formed by coihues and ulmos in the lower areas of the park, and tepas, mañíos, and coihues in the higher ones.

In regards to the fauna inhabiting the park, there are pumas, grey foxes, lesser grisons, coypus, kodkods, and vizcachas. Some birds also stand out, like condors, slender-billed parakeets, chercáns, bandurrias and hualas.

Like all Chilean parks, Puyehue provides good services and a network of paths and trails which allow visitors to enjoy the beauty and attractions the area offers. There are also hot springs available and in winter you can enjoy skiing at Antillanca ski center, on the slopes of the Casablanca volcano.
