Location - Habitat - Access
Located 75 kms. south of the city of Punta Arenas, on the
southeast coast of the Brunswick Peninsula, Cape San Isidro
is a site with many mountains and a great diversity of
species and habitat: forests of sub Antarctic Evergreen
Beech and Winter’s Barck, peat bogs, moist areas, alpine
zones, valleys formed by glaciers, rivers and lakes. The
Brunswick Peninsula is the southernmost habitat of the
“huemul” (Hippocamelus bisulcus), a species at high
risk of extinction, which motivated the area to be declared
“a protected zone” by the Chilean Ministry of Bienes
Nacionales (2007), with other endangered species such as
the black woodpecker (Campephelus magellanicus). The
wood thicket harbours a rich diversity of species of mosses,
briophites, lichens, fungii, and ferns.
It is reached by land through an historic route up to the
point of embarcation at the river Santa María for transfer
to the lodge, sailing the Straits of Magellan where
observation of dolphins and different species of marine
birds from circumpolar habitats is common.
