Details About Laguna San Rafael

A field of ice extends from this mountain to surrounding hills and is the origen for 19 glaciers. The park is famous for this field of ice and it is from this that Mount San Valentn takes its name. Very impressive are the large blocks ice that can be seen falling from the glaciers and crashing into the lake making a deafening sound. Although the glaciers and the lake are the park's major attractions, the park also accommodates a rich variety of both water and land birds. Some highlights include the black-browed albatross, huala duck, black-neck swan, and the cormorant among many more. Also to be seen are dolphins, wolves, chungungos, and elephant seals.
