Sendero Los Fosiles is located on the gravel Highway 265 on the south side of Lago General Carrera some 14 kilometres east of Puerto Guadal on the way towards Chile Chico in southern Chile. There is a large sign by the start of the track which leads 1 kilometre to the ranger's accommodation where an entrance fee is charged. Sendero Los Fosiles is an area of fossils found on the ground along the track (it is illegal to remove the fossils). There is an interesting outdoor display of fossils next to the ranger's accommodation which includes an OBSIDIAN ARROW HEAD, dinosaur eggs, vertebrae of prehistoric animals and fossilized shells reminiscent of Darwin's finds. These objects are laid out on tables by the Park Ranger's accommodation.
