Fernandez Archipelago National Park

Although slightly
difficult to get to, this park boasts one of the most individual
and surprising ecosystems on the planet: it not only has unique
and endemic flora, but also, the irregular geography and climate
have forged a definite folkloric tradition distinct from that
of the mainland.
Situated on Robinson
Crusoe island, which owes its name to the story of the famous
castaway, this park, as a result, possesses a mysterious history
and an attraction for adventurous tourists. Its
gastronomic tradition is rich. Lobsters are particularly important
and are caught in large quantities each day from the legendary
waters.
