Lahuen Ñadi Natural Monument

Lahuen Ñadi Natural Monument is a protected forest area located between Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas in southern Chile's Los Lagos Region. The site preserves old-growth woodland with tree species typical of the region's humid temperate environment.

The area received protection status in 2000 as a natural monument. The forest contains trees that are several centuries old, having developed naturally in this southern Chilean landscape over extended time.

The forest is shaped by native trees typical of southern Chile's temperate zones. You encounter these species naturally as you walk through, giving you a sense of how local woodlands grow and develop in this climate.

A flat walking path guides you through the area and takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. The trail is easy to follow and allows you to see the forest without physical strain.

The soil here has a special composition made of volcanic material and ancient deposits. These geological layers tell the story of how the landscape formed between the coastal mountains and the Andes.
