Central-Argentina Parque-Nacional-Lihue-Calel Argentina


In the local indigenous language of Pehuenche, Lihué Calel means Sierra de la Vida or Range of Life, and describes the series of small, isolated mountain ranges and valleys that mark this nearly featureless pampean landscape.

While agriculture has driven native wildlife out of much of the pampas, this desert-like park is a haven for native cats like puma and yagouaroundi, which are still persecuted by local cattle farmers. You can easily spot armadillo, guanaco, mara (Patagonian hare) and vizcacha, while birdlife includes the rhea-like ñandú and many birds of prey such as the carancho (crested caracara). Though you’re unlikely to encounter them unless you overturn rocks, be aware of the highly poisonous pit vipers commonly known as yarará.
