Coyhaique National Reserve, National reserve in Coyhaique Province, Chile.

Coyhaique National Reserve is a protected area in southern Patagonia combining mountain terrain, open plains, and small lakes within its boundaries. The reserve supports varied habitats where different plants and animals live side by side.

Coyhaique National Reserve was created in 1948, making it one of the oldest protected areas in the Aysén region. Its present boundaries, covering 2,150 hectares, were fixed in 1980. Forest fires in the 1950s severely damaged its soils, and reforestation with exotic pines followed to hold the ground.

The reserve's public facilities carry local names: the Casa Bruja sector and Laguna Verde, plus the Los Leñeros and Las Piedras trails. An arboretum gathers the reserve's main tree species. The conifer plantations begun after the 1950s fires are still managed to yield timber for the neighbouring community of Coyhaique.

The reserve lies close to Coyhaique city and is accessible by car or flight to the area. Visitors will find camping grounds, information centers, and other facilities available to help plan their stay.

The reserve's current 2,150 hectares were fixed in 1980, and its slopes were replanted with exotic pines after fires in the 1950s. Ponderosa, contorta, Scots and Oregon pines still cover part of the land, and these plantations are now managed to supply timber products to the neighbouring community of Coyhaique.
