Bosque de Fray Jorge National Park

Bosque de Fray Jorge National Park is a remarkable protected area in Chile's Coquimbo Region, approximately 100 kilometers south of La Serena and 30 kilometers west of Ovalle. The park sits within the Cordillera de Talinay, part of the Chilean Coastal Range, on the Pacific coast. What makes this park extraordinary is its presence as the northernmost remnant of the famed Valdivia temperate rain forests, existing as a lush, fog-fed woodland surrounded by the semiarid scrublands that border the Atacama Desert, the driest desert on Earth. Established in 1941 and administered by Chile's national forest service CONAF, the park encompasses approximately 100 square kilometers of which only about four percent supports forest cover. The park was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1977, recognizing its exceptional ecological significance as a living relic of ancient forest systems that once spanned much of the region before climatic changes transformed the landscape.
