Cerro Castillo National Reserve

The 1,795 square kilometer park features mountains, glaciers, lakes, and forests dominated by Lenga and Ñirre trees at elevations reaching 2,318 meters.

The territory transformed from a national reserve in 1970 to a national park in 2018 through collaboration between the Chilean government and Tompkins Conservation.

The Aonikenk people, skilled hunters of Patagonia, moved through these lands before adapting to horseback riding in the eighteenth century.

The Las Horquetas Circuit extends 51 kilometers through the park, offering designated campsites with water access and basic facilities for self-sufficient hikers.

The park forms part of the National Huemul Corridor, supporting the recovery of South Andean deer populations along the Route of Parks of Patagonia.
