The Tagua Tagua park is located in a portion of the Patagonian Andes where the forest, water and mountains interact as part of an endless life cycle. Its geographical characteristics have allowed this valley to remain virgin over the years, where its natural barriers, the Tagua Tagua Lake in its lower part, and the granite peaks on the other, have protected this beautiful place from the intervention of man.
The Tagua-Tagua park has a network of trails, which covers a total of 18 kilometers. Its layout was designed in order to minimize the impact of visitors.
