Melimoyu National Park, National park in Cisnes, Chile

Melimoyu National Park is a protected area along Chile's southern coast that spans forests, fjords, and volcanic terrain. The park's boundaries are defined by several marine channels and waterways, including the Gulf of Corcovado and the Moraleda Channel.

The region was long inhabited by the Chono people, who traveled the fjords and channels by boat and depended on fishing and hunting for survival. Later, European contact brought changes to the area, though the landscape retained its wild and remote character.

The park's name comes from the Melimoyu volcano, which rises above the forests and serves as a navigation landmark on the Moraleda Channel. Captain Robert FitzRoy described the channel in his account of the voyages of HMS Adventure and Beagle. The volcano's glacier-covered crater lies within the park.

Most of the park can be reached only by sea, as no road links it to the Carretera Austral; two segments are crossed by Route X-12 between La Junta and Puerto Raúl Marín Balmaceda. Transport services to the area are offered from Puerto Raúl Marín Balmaceda, the village of Melimoyu and Puerto Cisnes. There is no infrastructure and no rangers in the park.

The park's main landmark, the Melimoyu volcano, rises above a glacier-covered crater and serves as a navigation aid for ships on the Moraleda Channel. Captain Robert FitzRoy described it in his Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of H.M.S. Adventure and Beagle.
