Conguillio National Park.

We take a full-day tour of Conguillio National Park. This park of 60 832 hectares is located in the Araucanía Region, close to the volcanoes Llaima and Sierra Nevada.

In the Mapuche language, ‘Conguillio’ translates to ‘pine nuts in the water’ or ‘between pine nuts.’ True to its name, this location immerses you amidst Araucarías, lakes, and lagoons. Additionally, the park is adorned with native forests and vast lava flows, giving it a distinct and unique character.

Conguillio National Park is a must for all hiking lovers passing through the Araucanía region.
