Carlos Anwandter Nature Sanctuary, Nature sanctuary in Mariquina, Chile.
The Carlos Anwandter Nature Sanctuary encompasses 4,896 hectares of wetlands, rivers, grasslands, and forest areas in the Los Ríos Region.
The wetlands of the sanctuary formed following the magnitude 9.5 earthquake that struck Chile on May 22, 1960, flooding the surrounding territories.
The sanctuary serves as an educational center where researchers conduct studies on wetland ecosystems and monitor the population of black-necked swans.
Visitors can access the sanctuary daily from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM through designated entry points in Valdivia or Mariquina.
The site maintains a population of over 14,000 black-necked swans, marking a substantial recovery from the 249 individuals recorded in 2005.
