- Parque Tantauco
Parque Tantauco (Tantauco Park) was created in 2005, when Fundación Futuro decided to build a nucleus of local development in order to conserve the region’s unique ecosystems while boosting Quellón district and Chiloé Province.
In May 2005, advised by the “Corporación Chile Ambiente” corporation, Fundación Futuro began developing the "Management Plan for the Conservation of Parque Tantauco." In September of that same year, after the first infrastructure works were well underway, building of the Inio lodge, Tantauco’s center of operations, began.
February 2006 saw the inauguration of the Parque Tantauco offices in Quellón. As well as serving as the park’s administrative headquarters, the offices also serve as an information center for visitors. The Park is comprised of two campgrounds; 76km of hiking trails; Chiloé Island’s southernmost museum, Museo Parque Tantauco; and various facilities for visitors wishing to enjoy nature and the zone’s beautiful landscapes.
