Perito Moreno National Park, unrelated to the famous glacier of the same name, is a vast reserve of some 126,000 hectares in western Santa Cruz province on the Chilean border, combining Patagonian steppe and mountain forest, with valleys above nine hundred metres. It is named after Francisco Moreno, the explorer who founded Argentina's national park system. Its heart is turquoise Lake Belgrano among the mountains, with Cerro León rising to 1,380 metres north of it and other lakes and rivers around. It is one of the country's most remote and wild parks: guanaco herds are common, especially on the Lake Belgrano peninsula, the highly endangered huemul Andean deer finds refuge here, and the pilquín, an orange mountain viscacha, lives on the rocky cliffs. Entry is free with compulsory registration at the ranger post, and the park is open 1 October to 30 April. Services are very limited, so bring fuel, food and camping gear, and book any lodging ahead.

And the huemul.
Far from everything.
