This is a 3,000 hectare private reserve where a luxury tourist operation operates. This is on the coast of the region so there are many activities related to the sea. And also go hiking inside the reserve. We are 40 km from Los Muermos (closest town) and 90 km from Puerto Montt (capital city of the Lake District). El Tepual airport is located 80 km from the property (1 hour and a half by car from the airport) There is public transportation to Los Muermos and from there to Puerto Montt. It is a very touristy area and considered by many the beginning of Patagonia in Chile.
