Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve

The Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve spans 49,000 square kilometers of marine areas, islands, fjords, channels, forests, and moorland in southern Chile.

The reserve area contains archaeological evidence of Yaghan people who navigated these waters and inhabited the region for more than 7,500 years.

The Omora Ethnobotanical Park conducts research programs to document and preserve traditional knowledge of native plants used by indigenous communities.

Access to the reserve requires extensive planning as the remote location lacks substantial tourism infrastructure and features strict regulations on accommodation facilities.

This protected area contains the world's southernmost forest ecosystems and maintains five percent of global bryophyte species diversity.
