Notes on Parque Pumailn, our adventure destination
www.parquepumalin.cl.
From steep green fjords, to waterfalls cascading hundreds of
feet through thick misty jungle, to entire rivers of hot spring water, Parque
Pumalin is truly the epitome of paradise. Its unique topography and profound
seperation from modern society has allowed it to become home and refuge
to the greatest diversity of wildlife habitat along the entire southern Pacific Coast.
It is home to the Huinay research station, a modern day "Jurrasic Park" type
research center performing studies on marine biology and other flora and fauna
in the area. In several years of operation alone it has found and identified numerous
new species of marine life and today has more waiting to be identified!
Parque Pumailn and nearby fjords are a special place, truly one of the last places in the world left almost completely
untouched by the human footprint. For us, it is a vast paradise ready
to be explored and experienced, not by car, or by bus, but in a way that we can walk away touched by its beauty, but having left it exactly how it
was and has been for years. This is why we would like to share our
adventures with you in this beautiful place. To see
pictures of Parque Pumailn and our adventures there you can visit our Photo
Gallery Or visit out Facebook website, AL Sur Expediciones
