East of Coyhaique [1], Ruta 240 is no longer the main road to the border, but it still passes Laguna El Toro and Laguna Escondida, which shelter grebes, black-necked swans, and other wild waterfowl in this 181-hectare unit on the edge of the steppe.
Conaf charges US$1.20 admission for adults, US$0.35 for children, and rents six campsites (US$5.50) for up to six persons.
