Like the other parks
in this zone, Puyehue is characterized by thick forests on volcanic
terrain and an abundance of riverbeds and drainage valleys. The
humid evergreen forest originated due to high rainfall, and is
formed from coigues and ulmo in the lower areas of the park and
by tepa, manio and coigue in the higher areas.
In
regards to the fauna in the park, there are pumas,
grey
foxes , quiques, coipos, güiñas and vizcachas. Among the
birds, the condor,
the choroy, the chercán, the bandurria
and the huala
stand out. Like all the parks, it 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 the Antillanca
ski center, on the slopes of the Casablanca volcano.
