Kawésqar National Park

Kawésqar National Park is a vast protected wilderness area in the southernmost region of Chile, spanning the archipelagic landscape on both sides of the Strait of Magellan. Formerly known as Alacalufes National Reserve, it is the second largest national park in Chile and ranks among the largest protected areas in the world, encompassing approximately 7 million acres of remote Patagonian terrain. The park is characterized by a labyrinth of islands, islets, channels, and fjords that make up the western archipelago region of Magallanes. Its ecological identity is defined by the Magellanic rainforest, a unique temperate forest ecosystem that thrives in the cool, humid conditions of this southern latitude. The park holds deep cultural significance as it preserves the ancestral lands of the Kawésqar people, also known as the Alacaluf, who inhabited these islands for approximately seven thousand years as nomadic hunter-gatherers.
