RESERVE
Fundo Los Leones Reserve invites you to experience a whole new way of living in harmony with the land—one that’s rooted in ecosystem conservation and a deep connection with nature. Nestled in a breathtaking corner of Patagonia, this natural paradise is home to ancient forests, wetlands, crystal-clear rivers, turquoise water channels, serene fjords, and stunning beaches that open up to the sea—all framed by towering mountains and protected reserves. Just a stone’s throw from the historic Puerto Raúl Marín Balmaceda, this unique destination blends cultural richness with awe-inspiring landscapes for an experience like no other.
The property spans over 1,000 hectares, with more than 800 dedicated exclusively to conservation, establishing a biodiversity reserve with trails and scenic viewpoints accessible to the community. Within this natural setting, 180 hectares will be designated for the creation of four rural communities, all protected by Real Conservation Rights, ensuring regulations designed to preserve biodiversity. Additionally, 50 hectares will be set aside for commercial and agricultural activities, including the renowned Fundo Los Leones Fishing Lodge and other facilities—some open to the public, while others remain exclusive to residents.
EL FUNDO
Fundo Los Leones is a historic residence founded by pioneers in the 1930s, originally operating as a sheep farm for generations. Later, it was acquired by conservationists and philanthropists Douglas and Kristine Tompkins, who made it their first home and exploration base in Chile, playing a key role in the expansion of Corcovado National Park.
Today, these same facilities host an exclusive Fishing Lodge, the perfect destination for those looking to connect with nature in a breathtaking setting. From here, you can take in stunning views of the Pitipalena Fjord and enjoy a range of outdoor activities, including kayaking, horseback riding, and, of course, world-class sport fishing with the region’s top guides.
