Central
Andean region |
Map |
This
area embraces from the north of the island of Chiloé in Chile
and from the south limit of the Río Negro province in Argentina,
until the parallel 48 of soth latitude, as for the south north space.
To the west the limit is the pacific ocean and to the east a south-north
straight line wich coincides with the meridian 70.Much more uninhabited
that the north Andean region, it contains a great variety of landscapes,
many of which stay almost virgin, such as the archipelagos and fiords
of the Pacific, the fields of ice and extensive native forests.
To the north of this region it deserves a special mention the island
of Chiloé whose particular history has generated a surprising
miscegenation culture Hispanic-mapuche, also conditioned by the
marine means. In the Argentinean side the National Park 'Los Alerces'
and the area agricultural-cattleman and tourist with center in
Esquel
are the most remarkable attractiveness.
