Río Los Cipreses National Reserve, National reserve in Machalí, Chile
This 36,882-hectare reserve features mountain landscapes shaped by volcanic and glacial processes, with rivers running through valleys and peaks reaching high altitudes.
The protected area, established in 1985 by CONAF, contains ancient petroglyphs and structures that indicate human presence in the region from pre-Hispanic times.
The reserve supports the preservation of native wildlife, including guanacos, foxes, and burrowing parrots, which hold importance in Chilean natural heritage.
Visitors can access marked trails, picnic areas, and basic accommodations, with entrance fees of 2,700 CLP for adults and 800 CLP for children and seniors.
The reserve contains some of the northernmost stands of Austrocedrus chilensis trees and features the Agua de la Vida lagoon at high altitudes.
