Cabo de Hornos National Park

The park extends across 63,093 hectares of islands and islets, featuring peaks reaching 400 meters and housing diverse marine and terrestrial species.

The Chilean Ministry of Agriculture established this protected area in 1945, naming it after Cape Horn, discovered by Dutch merchant Isaac Le Maire in 1616.

The park forms part of Chile's Route of Parks, connecting seventeen national parks through 2,800 kilometers from Puerto Montt to Cape Horn.

Access requires flying to Punta Arenas, followed by sea travel through Tres Puentes to Puerto Williams and additional navigation through Beagle Channel.

This southernmost national park contains the world's southernmost forested ecosystem and preserves five percent of global bryophyte diversity.
