Bosques del Tinguiririca

This private protected area is located in the commune of San Fernando, Colchagua Province, O’Higgins Region. It covers an area of 6.177 acres, and over 85% of the land is dedicated to conservation. The goal is to recover and protect the sclerophyllous forest and biodiversity of the area, especially the boreal remnants of the Andean cypress. The initiative also aims to generate scientific research, promote environmental education, and provide the community with a protected area for nature interaction. The site holds significant ecological value due to the presence of Andean and sub-Andean ecosystems, which include, among other things, deciduous Mediterranean forest formations and bodies of water of great relevance to the region.
