LANÍN: "THE MAPUCHE’S EXTINGUISHED VOLCANO". In Lanín National Park, at the foot of the magnificent volcano of the same name, there are local flora species such as the pehuén or araucaria, cypress, coihue (an evergreen used for thatching), raulí (evergreen beech) and ñire (an Antarctic beech). As far as the fauna is concerned, huemuls (type of deer), pumas, foxes and pudús (the smallest deer in the world) inhabit this park. San Martín de los Andes, an active town of alpine-style architecture, is the starting point for sailing trips to lakes Lácar and Nonthué.
