Forests and Steppe in Los Glaciares
Los Glaciares is more than ice: forest lies between glacier country and the drier Patagonian steppe. The changing vegetation gives walks around El Chaltén and Lake Argentino another focus.
Argentine Patagonia / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Argentine Patagonia with our travel partners.
Watch how the landscape changes as mountains interrupt moisture moving east from the Pacific. Southern beech woodland, including lenga and ñire, gives way toward open steppe. Wildlife mentioned for the region includes guanacos, condors, huemul and torrent ducks, although a sighting is never assured.
What to look for
Lenga and ñire are characteristic trees of the wooded areas.
Open steppe contrasts with the forest beneath the mountains.
Guanacos and condors are among the region's wildlife.
