Different botanical species may be observed: coastal shrubbery, coastal thickets, coihue and peat bog formations. Another feature of this place is its great variety of birds.
This park includes the whole extension of the Canal de las Montañas ("Mountain Channel"), that ends just where Bernardo O"Higgins National Park begins. Due to the inaccessibility of this area from populated centers and lack of transport, it is rarely visited.
The following activity is recommended here:
