The world's southernmost national park, protecting the legendary Cape Horn Archipelago in Chilean Patagonia

Cabo de Hornos National Park

Cabo de Hornos National Park is the southernmost national park in the world, encompassing the dramatic Cape Horn Archipelago in the extreme south of Chile. The park protects a vast stretch of islands and islets in the Beagle Channel and southern Drake Passage, including the Wollaston Islands and Hermite Islands.

The park holds exceptional significance as both a geographic landmark representing the southernmost point of the Americas and a biodiversity hotspot supporting remarkable populations of seabirds and marine mammals. Access is exclusively by boat, with the park lying about 12 hours maritime travel from Puerto Williams, the nearest settlement.
