The Corcovado National Park preserves one of the largest and most pristine areas of temperate evergreen rainforest in Chilean Patagonia. Species such as the Magallanes coigüe, Lenga, Ñirre, Canelo, Mañío and Guaitecas cypress stand out. Specimens of ancient larch can be found in isolated and difficult to access areas.
The undergrowth is dense, composed of ferns, mosses, lichens, and native shrubs such as myrtle, tineo and chaura, which bloom in spring and summer and fill the paths and edges of lagoons with color. The humid sectors concentrate reeds and aquatic plants.
The park is home to more than 25 species of terrestrial mammals, such as the puma, the little pudú, the elusive huemul, the Chilla and Darwin foxes, Güiña, Coipo, Huillín and the rare mountain monkey.
On its coasts and fjords, you can see sea lions, leopard seals and seasonal visitors such as blue whales, humpbacks, sperm whales and dolphins.
More than 60 bird species have been recorded, including the Andean condor, black carpenter, cachaña, cuckoo heron, flightless quetru, black-necked swans and Magellanic penguin colonies off the coast of the Gulf of Corcovado.
