Laguna Azul

Laguna Azul
In February 2005 a careless backpacker started a distastrous fire when his cooker was blown over, destroying 155 km² of the national park and 2 km² of native forest. Considering that nothofagus in this climate takes centuries to grow this was a major disaster which was repeated in 2011 when another backpacker caused a fire which destroyed 176 km²/36km² arround Lago Pehoe.
Fines for tourists still are ridiculously low but at least the Czech and Israeli governments donated money for reforestation after their citizens caused the damage.

Many thanks, George! Backpackers on an budget trying to save the few Pesos for the official campgrounds and with no idea about climate in the park;-( The wind can be so bad, I've seen someone with a big backpack lifted up in the air!
