About 85 km east of Temuco is the Conguillío National Park - also known as Las Paraguas, because the silhouettes of the araucarias, which the 60,000 hectare park was set up to protect, look like umbrellas.
The central point of the national park is the 3,125 m high (and extremely active) Llaima volcanoat the foot of which there are some beautiful lakes.
