Overview
Los Alerces National Park covers 2,630 km² along the Argentine-Chilean border in Patagonia's Chubut region. It offers ancient Alerce (Patagonian cypress) forests, glacial lakes, and a rare natural environment, though visitors should note that hiking infrastructure is limited compared to neighboring parks like Los Glaciares.
