South American protected area management and tourism

Overview

Activities in South American protected areas have focused on administrative updates, conservation partnerships, and seasonal tourism openings.

In Argentina, Nahuel Huapi National Park initiated the 2027 guide credential renewal process, requiring guides to apply via an online platform by December 10, 2026. Additionally, the park has expanded its collaboration with the technology company INVAP to promote environmental education, scientific interest, and ecological restoration in Patagonia.

In Chile, several protected areas have opened for the spring season. Karukinka Park in Tierra del Fuego, a large private area managed by WCS Chile, is hosting visitors to observe subantarctic forests and coastal ecosystems. Meanwhile, Nonguén National Park in the Biobío Region has opened for day trips to protect deciduous forest remnants and native species such as the pudú.
