The reserve is owned by CODEFF, a Chilean environmental NGO, which manages the area for conservation. Visitors encounter pure stands of Olivillo (Aextoxicon punctatum), a tree that elsewhere grows mixed with other species. The name Curiñanco comes from the Mapudungun words for black and water.

The reserve is accessible via established trails and viewpoints positioned throughout the area for observation. Wear sturdy footwear as paths are uneven and some sections have steep elevation changes.

This protected space shelters rare animals like pudús and guiñas that are difficult to spot elsewhere. These small mammals are adapted to forest environments and occasionally appear in quieter sections of the reserve.
