    Understand

    [edit]

    The park has a temperate humid climate with altitudes between 2,480 and 3,240 m above sea level. The forests are mostly fir and pine but they have an unnatural look due to their uniform tree height and lack of shrubs or undergrowth. The park has little in the way of tourist amenities, instead relying on the pristine natural forests and lakes to attract visitors.

    Among the top attractions of the park are two large lakes (Laguna Seca and Laguna Verde) which provide habitat for migratory water birds. Several mammal species including squirrels, rabbits, armadillos and several species of bat are common in this area, especially in the canyons. Some of the larger canyons in the park are El Jaral, Ojo de agua, Pundereje, El Cardaro, Las Peñitas and La Palma. The park was established as part of the national park system in 1940 and covers an area of approximately 14,600 hectares.
