Punta Curiñanco Reserve

Discription: this is one of the first experiences of coastal forest conservation from a conservation organization. Its establishment is an initiative of the NGO CODEFF, who in 2000 bought 80 hectares of the Cordillera de la Costa valdiviana to protect a relict forest of coastal olivillo. For years there have been great efforts to implement services and infrastructure, which is in advance stage. Although Punta Curiñanco is not a tourist area, and has no facilities or utilities, you can receive visitors groups previously warning the area manager.

Walking around you can find local products such as vegetables, eggs in the area, crafts, preserves, lamb and fish.

The natural landscape is adorned by bushes, meadows, plateaus, hills later with native forest with native species such as olivillos and ulmos and beautiful homes that make it even more beautiful.

There is an area called Punta Curiñanco, which is a conservation initiative in the valdiviana CODEFF coast with an area of ??80 hectares, which began in 2000 in order to conserve biodiversity, promote research and ecotourism, and contribute to social and sustainable development of the town.
