Locations in Pali Aike
Located 196 km northeast of Punta Arenas, this National Park was created in 1970 and is currently administered by CONAF. It is a 4500 km2 volcanic field, with access to two main trails; Cueva Pali Aike and Morada del Diablo. Craters that were active millions of years ago now offer a perfect setting for imagining other planets with volcanic lava plateaus. Flat spaces allow sunlight to shimmer throughout the field.
