Coyhaique National Reserve

Coyhaique National Reserve encompasses 21.5 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including mountains rising above 1,000 meters, plains, and lagoons in southern Chile.

The Chilean government established Coyhaique National Reserve in 1948 as part of the national initiative to protect natural resources and support environmental education.

The reserve functions as an outdoor laboratory where visitors learn about Patagonian ecosystems through guided tours and educational programs focused on local wildlife.

Visitors can access the reserve through land routes or flights to Coyhaique city, with facilities including camping sites, information centers, and food services.

The protected area houses native species such as coigues, lengas, wild cats, pumas, and foxes within its mountain-framed terrain just 4 kilometers from Coyhaique city.
