Archipiélago de Juan Fernández National Park, National park on three Pacific islands in Valparaíso Region, Chile.

The archipelago consists of Robinson Crusoe, Santa Clara, and Alejandro Selkirk islands, covering 9,570 hectares of volcanic terrain in the Pacific Ocean.

The Chilean government established this protected area in January 1935, and UNESCO designated it as a Biosphere Reserve in 1977.

The islands maintain strong connections to literature as Robinson Crusoe island draws its name from the character in Daniel Defoe's novel.

Visitors can reach the park through weekly flights from Santiago or by naval ships that operate during December and February from Valparaíso.

The park contains 137 endemic plant species and houses the Juan Fernández Firecrown, the only insular endemic hummingbird in the world.
