Los Ruiles National Reserve, National reserve in Cauquenes Province, Chile
Los Ruiles National Reserve spans 45 hectares across two sections, protecting native forest areas in the Maule Region of central Chile.
The Chilean government established this protected area on January 15, 1982, to safeguard endangered tree species and local wildlife populations.
The reserve contains the Ruil tree, a native species that grows naturally only in small coastal zones of central Chile.
Visitors can access two footpaths and designated picnic areas located 29 kilometers from the town of Cauquenes.
The reserve hosts one of the northernmost populations of monito del monte, a small marsupial native to South America.
