Los Huemules de Niblinto National Reserve

Los Huemules de Niblinto National Reserve spans 20.23 square kilometers of diverse landscapes including forests, alpine meadows, and riverine habitats in the Andes mountains.

The Chilean government established this protected area on February 23, 1999, under the management of the National Forestry Corporation to safeguard local wildlife species.

The reserve forms an integral part of the Nevados de Chillán-Laguna del Laja biological corridor, which UNESCO designated as a Biosphere Reserve in 2011.

Visitors can access the reserve through gravel roads requiring four-wheel-drive vehicles, with the nearest services available in Coihueco, located 40 kilometers away.

This protected area contains the northernmost population of South Andean deer and represents 12 percent of Chile's total plant diversity within its boundaries.
