On the coast of Los Molles, the Puquén Reserve protects a valuable coastal sclerophyllous scrub ecosystem, home to unique biodiversity that thrives thanks to private conservation efforts. This ecosystem is home to a significant population of species within some conservation category (CR-EN-VU).

Its main attraction, the Puquén, is a natural blowhole that surprises visitors with a powerful blast of seawater between the rocks, a spectacle that embodies the power of the ocean. Its name, derived from Mapudungun, means “winter times,” evoking the living energy of the coastline.

With its trails, history, and wildlife, the Puquén Reserve invites families and nature lovers to explore, learn, and reconnect with the beauty of the coastal environment.
