Isla Magdalena National Park, Nature reserve in Provincia de Aysén, Chile

The national park spreads across 1,576 square kilometers, featuring the Mentolat Volcano that reaches an elevation of 1,660 meters above sea level.

The area transformed from a Forest Reserve in the 1960s to receive national park status on July 11, 1983 through Decree 301 of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The waters surrounding the island maintain the traditions of local fishing communities, with Puerto Gaviota serving as the sole settlement within park boundaries.

Access to the island requires maritime transportation from Puerto Cisnes, Puerto Aguirre, or Puyuhuapi, with journey times averaging one hour from the nearest mainland point.

The park contains populations of Huillines, Chungungos, South American Fur Seals, and Toninas living among dense Evergreen Chono Forest vegetation.
