Conguillío National Park is located in the Andes, in the provinces of Cautín and Malleco, in the Araucanía Region of Chile also known as Region IX. Its name derives from the Mapuche word for "water with Araucaria seeds". Among the attractions in the park are the Llaima volcano, Sierra Nevada and wild landscapes characterized by islands of vegetation completely surrounded by vast areas of lava flows. Extensive forests, formed mainly by Araucarias and ''Nothofagus'' species, and small lakes increase the scenic beauty of the park. It is also known as ''Los Paraguas'' (The Umbrellas), due to the shape of the Monkey Puzzle trees. The park was used as filming location for Walking with Dinosaurs, a television series produced by the BBC. == History == It was declared a national park in 1950.〔http://www.visitchile.com/en/conguillio-national-park/〕 In 1983, the park, along with Alto Bío Bío National Reserve, was designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MAB Biosphere Reserves Directory: La Campana-Peñuelas )〕 which is known as Araucarias Biosphere Reserve. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conguillío National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
