A couple of weekends ago we went to Nahuelbuta National Park. The park is located about 500km south of Santiago and has relatively easy access (Ruta 5 for 500km to Angol and then about 30-40km on a dirt track which is mostly ok though probably 4x4 is needed in bad weather). The park is one of the few areas where the native forest that was there up to 200 years ago has not been wiped out. It consists mostly of Araucaria trees, Canelo trees and some nothofagus: coihue, Ñirre and lenga trees.
