The Lanín National Park Visitor Center and Museum, located in San Martín de los Andes, serves as an enriching gateway to one of Argentina's most celebrated national parks. Housed in a beautifully restored historic building that once served as the park's administration headquarters for six decades, the museum showcases the breathtaking landscapes and diverse ecosystems found within the park. The museum features a historical exhibition that allows visitors to understand the occupation process of the Patagonian territory, the creation of the National Parks system, and the role of Lanín National Park in the socio-economic development of San Martín de los Andes. Through displays of old everyday objects and a recreation of a park ranger section, visitors can better understand the park's history. Two additional rooms focus on the park's biodiversity, with details on the flora and fauna species, their conservation, and the role of the Andean-Patagonian forest. The displays appeal to multiple senses with textures, sounds, silhouettes, aromas, and colors. The Visitor Center also promotes the rational use of energy, with motion sensors regulating the light intensity in the rooms. Texts are translated for foreign tourists, and accessibility is improved with easy-to-read texts, access to the building and restrooms, a Braille keyboard, and a telephone for the hearing impaired.
