Las Horquetas

Near the park’s northern sector, you can find Las Horquetas Valley, land now dedicated to the conservation of the huemul (South Andean deer), an endangered species. This area is an important wintering habitat that offers huemules easier access to food, along with providing connectivity to different huemul groups that use it as a corridor. Currently, we’re working with Conaf on a huemul monitoring program, and we also hope to establish a rescue and rehabilitation center for this endangered species soon. Over the medium-term, we plan to donate these lands to the state to expand the national park, thereby further consolidating this protected area and ensuring its preservation as a key habitat for this species’ survival.
