Yendegaia National Park, in Tierra del Fuego within the Magallanes y la Antartica Chilena Region of Chile, was established December 24, 2013 through a partnership between the Chilean government and Tompkins Conservation, covering roughly 150,612 hectares of mountainous terrain and Valdivian temperate rainforest. It borders Alberto de Agostini National Park, sits within the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve and adjoins the Tierra del Fuego National Park of Argentina, protecting one of the last remaining stands of sub Antarctic beech forest, a remnant of the Gondwana supercontinent dating back some 180 million years, along with endangered culpeo foxes, river otters and ruddy headed geese.
