Tagua Tagua ParkCome visit us

Home

We are a Private Protected Area of ​​3,000 hectares, located in the basin of the Puelo River, on the shores of Tagua Tagua Lake, Cochamo commune, in the Chilean Patagonia. Founded in 2013 for preservation, scientific research and ecotourism.

You can visit us for the day or stay in 3 cozy shelters, to explore all the trails enjoying the landscapes, flora and fauna of the pristine forest at any time of the year.

Evergreen forest, water and mountains interact here in an endless cycle of life, giving home to Millenary Alerces, Coihues and Lichens among others. It is home to species such as Pudú, Pumas, Monito del Monte, Chucao …

The geographical characteristics and a bold access for humans allow the Park to remain virgin. Natural barriers, such as Lake Tagua Tagua in its lower part and granite peaks in its upper part, have protected this beautiful place from human intervention. And the forces of nature: the wind, the rains, the rivers with their waterfalls and the displacements of glaciers that millions of years ago are no longer there, populated the Tagua Tagua Park with majestic pieces of art of nature.

We invite you to visit the Tagua Tagua Park.
