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.
Experience the natural beauty of the reserve’s trails either by horseback, bicycle, or by foot. You will discover magical, hidden places here such as the Descabezado Grande Volcano and the Valley of the Venado where you can do a little bit of birdwatching and catch a glimpse of burrowing parrots, Magellanic woodpeckers, eagles, and condors that astound visitors with their majestic soaring.
Enjoy a picnic or a nap outdoors in the rest areas that are equipped for individuals with limited mobility. Are you looking for something even more impressive? Get away to the Piedra de los Platos, an archaeological site where people claim to have spotted UFOs.
