Puerto Fonck Park

Puerto Fonck Park, nestled in the scenic region of Puerto Octay, Chile, is a unique site dedicated to the restoration of wetlands and forests. Spanning several ecosystems, including rare hualves (swamp forests) and critical habitats for species such as the monito del monte (Dromiciops gliroides) and huillín (Lontra provocax), the arboretum focuses on the conservation of native flora and fauna. The arboretum is not only a conservation project but also an educational and recreational space where visitors can engage with nature through trails, interactive learning, and family activities.

The arboretum plays a vital role in educating the public on the importance of preserving ecosystems. Its restoration efforts include re-establishing biological corridors and creating healthy environments for endangered species, while its educational programs aim to inspire a deep connection with nature. Visitors can explore a variety of zones, from forests to wetlands, and engage in activities like birdwatching, educational workshops, and family-friendly events.
