Yendegaia National Park

Yendegaia National Park occupies the heart of southern Tierra del Fuego in Chile's Magallanes region, protecting a spectacular landscape of rugged mountains, glacial valleys, pristine forests, and fjord systems along the Beagle Channel. Established in December 2013 through a landmark public-private collaboration between the Chilean government and the Tompkins Conservation foundation, the park spans approximately 150,000 hectares and forms a critical ecological corridor connecting Chile's Alberto de Agostini National Park with Argentina's Tierra del Fuego National Park. This transboundary linkage creates one of the largest continuous protected areas in southern Patagonia, situated within the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve. The park preserves some of the planet's most southerly temperate rainforests and represents a living laboratory for understanding Gondwanan ecology, with forests containing species lineages dating back 180 million years.
