Parque Futangue is still a largely unknown natural gem in the south of Chile, located in the north-western extremities of Patagonia. It is a vast private park, where visitors can carry out explorations and hikes for all levels in its pristine Valdivian rainforests, marveling at huge waterfalls and turquoise lakes and getting enchanted with the local fauna and flora.
The endangered and intriguing Darwin’s frog is one of the many wildlife highlights; Parque Futangue is probably the world’s best and most reliable location to photograph this rare amphibian, as the park managers are carrying out a long-term project for its conservation, based on careful observation methods. You may also expect to see the Pudu deer, as well as bird species such as Black-throated Huet-huet, Chucao Tapaculo, Ochre-flanked Tapaculo and Magellanic Tapaculo. The forested surroundings of the park are the perfect place to find all the bird specialties of the Valdivian rainforests eco-region, from Rufous-legged Owl to Des Murs’s Wiretail.
During your stay (we recommend you to stay at least for 3 nights), you can explore these largely untouched woodlands in the hands of one of our experienced, knowledgeable naturalist guides and absorb its richness with all your senses.
The lodge we stay at, is situated within the park and awaits for nature enthusiasts with warm hospitality, world-class infrastructure and friendly, accommodating personnel. Relax after an intense day in the field, treat yourself with delicious food and get new energies for further explorations in the grand Futangue Park. Futangue Park Valdivian Rainforest
