Reserva nacional Magallanes

Reserva Nacional Magallanes, located 8 km from the center of town, this national nature reserve is covered by lenga (a species of southern beech, Nothofagus pumilio) and provides a beautiful overview of the city. Administered by Corporación Nacional Forestal (Conaf), here you can explore the beech forest of far southern America. Animals you may see here include foxes, cougars, deer, owls and woodpeckers. There are trekking trails (one of them forming part of Sendero de Chile), most of them easy. There are also picnic spaces and bodies of water. The park is accessible throughout the year, but during winter snowchains are mandatory. No public transportation.
