Valdivian Coastal Reserve, Protected coastal area in southern Chile.
The reserve spans 150,000 acres of temperate rainforest along the Pacific coast, featuring ancient trees and diverse plant species in a complex ecosystem.
The Nature Conservancy acquired this land at auction in 2003 after a forestry company bankruptcy, establishing the protected reserve in March 2005.
Local fishing villages and Mapuche indigenous communities maintain their traditional practices within the reserve, contributing to sustainable resource management.
The reserve provides public access through maintained trails, parking areas, and designated picnic spots, with educational signs throughout the property.
Two remarkable tree species inhabit the reserve: the 400-year-old Olivillo and the Alerce, which can live up to 4,000 years.
