Los Bellotos del Melado National Reserve, Nature reserve in Linares Province, Chile.
Los Bellotos del Melado National Reserve spans 717 hectares of protected land containing diverse plant species, including beech trees, coigües, and laurel trees.
The Chilean government established this protected area in 1995 to safeguard one of only five locations where southern belloto trees grow naturally.
The reserve functions as a scientific research site where botanists and ecologists study the native plant species and their relationships within the ecosystem.
Access to the reserve requires traveling on gravel and dirt roads from Linares city, passing the Ancoa reservoir toward the Canal Melado tunnel.
The reserve contains populations of Beilschmiedia berteroana trees, which naturally occur in just five locations throughout Chile.
