    The Lago Puelo National Park is a national park of Argentina, located in the northwest of the province of Chubut, in the Patagonia. It has an area of 276.74 square kilometres . It was created in order to protect its scenic landscape and the Valdivian flora, as an annex to the Los Alerces National Park, and declared National Park and independent reserve in 1971. The protected area is named after the Puelo Lake, and belongs to the Patagonic forest and steppes and High Andes eco-regions. The mountainous zone where the park lies was modified by the action of glaciers, which created many rivers and lakes, including the one that gives the park its name. The rivers of the region show high levels of glacier sediment , which gives Puelo Lake its blue color.
