Pumalín Douglas Tompkins National Park, located in Chile, is a vast and stunning protected area that spans approximately 994,000 acres. Established through the conservation efforts of the late American entrepreneur and environmentalist Douglas Tompkins, the park is renowned for its pristine temperate rainforests, dramatic fjords, and towering glaciated peaks. It is home to a rich biodiversity, including endangered species such as the Andean deer (huemul) and the Chilean river otter.
