The trails

Hornos Lighthouse Trail

It starts at the point of disembarkation and ascends along a wooden footbridge to the Mayor's Office of Mar. It passes by the Navigator monument and ends at the viewpoint of the Cabo de Hornos lighthouse, where you get a panoramic view of the ocean and the sub-antarctic environment. The trail is short, delimited and adapted to avoid damaging native vegetation.

Difficulty: low
Duration: 1 hour
Distance: 1,500 meters round trip

The nature

Flora


The vegetation is composed of species adapted to the cold and humid climate. Canelo, ñirre, Magallanes coigüe and wood predominate.

Mosses, lichens and peat bogs are also common, making up a fragile and unique ecosystem.

The park represents one of the most pristine areas of the sub-antarctic forest.

Fauna

The park is home to rich marine and sub-antarctic biodiversity. Birds such as the wandering albatross, the giant petrel, the Magellanic penguin, the imperial cormorant and the Dominican gull stand out.

It is also possible to observe sea lions, southern dolphins, elephant seals and occasionally leopard seals.

It is a key area for the conservation of migratory and endemic species in the extreme south of Chile.
