Parque Pumalin

The world's largest privately owned nature preserve, the future Pumalín National Park (it will officially become a national park in April 2019) in northern Chaitén hosts a pristine set of mountains, temperate rain forests, volcanoes, lakes, and rivers. Kayaking around the park's coastal fjords is a popular activity, as is hiking through some of the last intact alerce forest anywhere. The park also has excellent camping facilities, first-class cabins, and a superb café and restaurant at its headquarters in Caleta Gonzalo.
