Parque Isidora Cousiño, Historical park in Lota, Chile
The 19th-century garden extends across coastal grounds with over 83 plant species from multiple continents and decorated pathways overlooking the Gulf of Arauco.
Luis Cousiño Squella commissioned British designer Bartlet to create this French-style garden between 1862 and 1872 as a gift for his wife Isidora Goyenechea.
The park contains 27 cast iron sculptures from Val d'Osne Foundation and 50 decorative pieces, forming the largest collection of French metallurgy in Chile.
Visitors can explore multiple structures including a Chinese kiosk, a plant observatory, a meteorological station, and a lighthouse within the park grounds.
The garden stands as one of only three French-style parks in Chile, positioned on a coastal location with views of the Gulf of Arauco and port.
