Chile Creates Largest Marine Reserve in the Americas
@CNTraveler
The newly protected waters around the Desventuradas Islands contain many marine species found nowhere else on Earth.
You’ll discover traces of volcanic eruptions that happened centuries ago at the Laguna del Laja National Park, while multiple species of birds like owls and condors will accompany you on your trip around the area.
Andean cypress trees, millennial araucarias as well as snow floes and rapids with great scenic views will captivate you on this trip with the Antuco Volcano as the backdrop.
Walk towards the Laja Lagoon, where the emerald green color of its water, the rocky shores of volcanic material and the forests of Andean cypress, coihues and lengas will surprise you.
