Las Palmas de Cocalán National Park

Las Palmas de Cocalán National Park extends across 3,709 hectares of protected land, featuring diverse ecosystems within the Cachapoal Province of central Chile.

The national park received its protected status in 1972, with official boundaries established in 1989 under the management of Corporación Nacional Forestal.

The park represents a collaboration between private landowners and conservation authorities, with two agricultural societies maintaining traditional land practices alongside protection efforts.

Visitors need prior authorization from the Ossa family through email or phone contact, as the park lacks public infrastructure and regular tourist facilities.

The reserve contains 3,500 specimens of Chilean palm trees, Jubaea chilensis, making it the largest and southernmost population of this endemic species.
