Federico Albert National Reserve, National reserve in Cauquenes Province, Chile
The Federico Albert National Reserve spans 145 hectares of protected land, featuring a mix of native and introduced tree species near the town of Chanco.
German botanist Federico Albert Faupp established tree plantations in 1890 to prevent sand dunes from advancing into agricultural lands and local settlements.
The reserve maintains several educational trails, including the Sendero de Los Sentidos, designed for visually impaired visitors to experience the natural environment.
Access to the reserve requires a fee of 2,500 Chilean pesos for national adults and 5,000 pesos for international visitors, with discounts for children.
The reserve contains heterogeneous forests with radiata pine, eucalyptus, and cypress trees, under which native orchid species Gavilea venosa naturally grow.
