Andino Norpatagonica Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve in northern Patagonia, Argentina.
The Andino Norpatagonica Biosphere Reserve is a protected area in northern Patagonia that combines varied landscapes from different elevations. It contains mountain forests, deep lakes, and multiple ecological zones within its boundaries.
The area received UNESCO biosphere reserve status in 2007 to protect its natural resources. This designation encouraged scientific research and sustainable practices throughout the Andean-Patagonian landscape.
Local communities living within the reserve maintain traditional ways of life and actively participate in conservation work. You can see how people here balance daily living with protecting the landscape around them.
The reserve has many hiking trails and observation points scattered throughout, with guided tours led by local naturalist organizations. Plan your visit during warmer months when trails are easier to navigate and weather conditions are more favorable.
The reserve is home to Araucaria araucana trees, an ancient conifer species that has survived since the age of dinosaurs. These rare trees are found in only a few places worldwide, making this landscape truly distinctive.
