Discover the peaceful Tepuhueico Lake, a 14 km² natural gem in the heart of Chiloé Island. Its pristine waters and untouched beauty make it a haven for native wildlife. Witness the stunning waterfall as the lake’s waters flow into the Bravo River, eventually reaching Lake Huillinco.
Between the lake and the mountain range lies the park’s most unexplored area. Virgin, evergreen forests, whose density invites the discovery of a wide range of native flora and fauna. These forests are characterized by their dynamism and variety of aromas. They are often called ‘forest societies’, as they harbor specimens at different stages of maturity that, in their evolutionary process, have negotiated a balance that has consolidated their survival. This wonderful area of the park is accessible through Huillinco, facilitating the entrance to this mysterious green world.
The uniqueness of Chiloé’s open coast landscape lies in its geography. Steep cliffs carved by a tempestuous sea create the scene, while fossil stones tell the story of its geological past. Pacific winds, entering from east to west, shape the stunted forests and white sand dunes. Rivers from the west descend to the coast, forming coastal lagoons where seabirds mingle with the birdlife of the interior forest. The lightness of the vegetation favors birdwatching. This spectacular landscape is accessible through Cucao, a gateway to the natural world of the Chiloé coast.
