Travel Guide National Park Kawesqar

It is one of the largest national parks in the world and the second largest in Chile. With 2.8 million hectares, this park, inaugurated in January 2019, is the result of a collaboration between the Chilean State and the Tompkins Foundation (which, it should be remembered, is responsible for the creation of several national parks in Chile). A sanctuary of beauty, the park aims to protect its virgin lands and its various ecosystems: temperate coastal forests, peat bogs, endemic fauna, lagoons, rivers and glaciers. The park is also home to a hundred or so animal species including the puma, the huemul, the humpback whale and the condor.
