Río Blanco National Reserve, National reserve in Los Andes Province, Chile.
The reserve encompasses 10,175 hectares of protected land near the international route connecting Los Andes city with Mendoza, Argentina, at 850 meters above sea level.
The Chilean Ministry of Land and Colonization established Rio Blanco as a national reserve through Decree 2499 on May 10, 1932, with clarifications added in 1957.
The reserve contains thirty-two protected plant species identified in a 2009 survey, with native species representing 94 percent of the total vegetation inventory.
Access to the reserve requires following Route 60-CH from Los Andes city and turning right at kilometer 780, though no official visitor services are available.
The steep cliffs along Rio Blanco river provide nesting grounds for condors, while the reserve also shelters pumas, culpeo foxes, and viscachas.
