Las Araucarias is a hamlet (Spanish: caserío) in Araucanía Region, Chile.[3] It is located at 640 m asl. in Cordillera de Nahuelbuta next to a small remnant of some of the southernmost Araucaria araucana trees in the Chilean Coast Range.[4] By 1950 there were 1000 ha of Araucaria araucana forest around Las Araucarias, but by 2016 only 40 ha remained,[5] of which 10,3 ha are protected in the Villa las Araucarias site.[4]
