Parque Nacional Alerce Andino Chaicas: Trekking 11 kms 🇨🇱

#Trekking #Chile #solohiking #Hiking #Travel The trees that inhabit the Alerce Andino Park are inheritors of ancient lineages. This ecoregion remained isolated from the ice that covered the area 12 thousand years ago, forming forests that today are a world icon for their endemism: one in three species does not occur anywhere else on the planet. Vertical granite walls surround the fifty lagoons of the park and its rugged geography has protected millennial Alerces, present in more than half of the surface of this valuable ecosystem located south of Lake Chapo and classified as a Forest Biosphere Reserve. Rainy Temperate of the Southern Andes. The predominant plant formation is the forest made up of the larch, evergreen, coigüe de Magallanes and lenga forest types. The most representative species is the larch, which occurs in almost 20,000 hectares of the park, developing preferably above 400 meters above sea level and associated with the Chiloé coigüe, tineo, mañío and cinnamon. Meanwhile, its fauna highlights the presence of mammals such as pudu, puma, güiña, gray fox, chingue, and little monkey. Among the birds, the condor, the black woodpecker, the huet huet, the kingfisher, the peuco, the real duck, the caiquén, the cachudito and the torcaza stand out. The native fish species is the percatrucha.
