The park is located in a valley covered with endemic nothofagus trees within the Andes Mountains. It has a gorgeous clear water river that carving the bedrock for centuries, has created unique waterfalls. From Parque Inglés I hiked the Malacara trek one day and the next day I rented a horse to reach the Bolsón Peak. Both activities were spectacular. I strongly recommend this park for families, solo travelers, mountaineers, birdwatchers, and anybody who appreciate pristine nature.
