The experience

Walk into the wet forest that defines northern Patagonia

Pumalín protects a continuous sweep from Pacific fjords into volcanic mountains, including old-growth alerce and evergreen rainforest.

The Alerces Trail is deliberately short, letting giant trunks, epiphytes and waterlogged forest occupy the whole experience.

Experience FAQ

Walk Pumalín's Alerces Trail

Q01Is this the same species as in Los Alerces, Argentina?

Yes. Fitzroya cupressoides grows on both sides of the Andes, with major protected stands in each park.

Q02How long is the walk?

It is a short interpretive trail, valuable for attention rather than distance.

Plan with Alex

Plan the Pumalín forest walk

Follow Patagonia toward the ice, or take the northern road from vineyard shade to Iguazú's thunder.

Tell me which landscape you keep returning to, and we will build the right Argentina journey around it.

Portrait of Alex

I would travel south for whales, lenga forests and glaciers calving into blue water. I would turn north for Mendoza's vineyards, the white deserts of the Puna and the roar of Iguazú. Both deserve a journey of their own.
