This lush cloud forest is a surprising find in the parched landscape of northern Chile. The 10,000-hectare park makes a splendid detour when driving up the coast. A short nature trail provides fine views over the seaside.

The Centro de Información has piecemeal displays about 1km past the entrance; admission is paid here.
