La Chimba National Reserve, National reserve in Antofagasta Province, Chile.

Located in northern Chile's Antofagasta Region, La Chimba National Reserve contains 2,583 hectares of protected desert landscapes with native plants and wildlife species.

The Chilean government established La Chimba National Reserve on May 12, 1988 to protect the natural heritage of the Atacama Desert ecosystem.

Archaeological findings within the reserve boundaries demonstrate the presence of indigenous communities who adapted to the desert environment over centuries.

The reserve requires visitors to bring sufficient water supplies and sun protection gear when exploring the extensive network of marked hiking trails.

The reserve sits at the intersection of desert and coastal environments, creating distinct conditions that support specialized plant and animal adaptations.
