Mocha Island National Reserve

Tours Sightseeing Tours Nature & Adventure Tours Off the beaten track
This reserve occupies more than 40% of the Mocha island’s territory and is formed by two mountain ranges that travel from north to south. It has 4 different walk trails through which it is possible to see different trees and plants that have adapted themselves to the strong winds of the area. It is also possible to see the masatierra petrel, a seabird that can only be found on this island, and the Juan Fernández Archipelago; causing a great interest for scientists and tourists.
 


The Isla Mocha unit is located in the Bío Bío Region, the municipality of Tirúa, province of Arauco. It was created on May 12, 1988.
 


The unit stands out for the protection of wildlife species, the white fardela, a seabird of special scientific and tourist interest because it is an endemic species of the island. The vegetation of the island in the low and flat sectors is made up of annual and scrubland plants, adapted to wind and salt conditions that predominate almost all year.
 


Its main trails are:
  • Laguna Hermosa Norte
  • Laguna Hermosa Sur
  • The Golden Years
  • Huairavos Lagoon
