Melimoyu National Park

The park encompasses 1,055 square kilometers of land with the Gulf of Corcovado, Moraleda Channel, and Jacaf Channel forming natural boundaries along its coastline.

The territory belonged to the Chono people, who navigated the waterways in canoes while hunting and fishing throughout the coastal regions and channels.

The Melimoyu Volcano, rising 7,874 feet above sea level, holds significance in regional folklore as a supposed gateway to the mythical City of Caesars.

Access to the park requires transportation by sea, with ferry services operating from Quellón and Puerto Cisnes, as no direct land routes currently exist.

During the Southern Hemisphere summer, ten percent of the global blue whale population gathers in the Corcovado Gulf to feed on abundant krill.
