WHO WE ARE
Cochamo Park Foundation was founded in 2020 by climbers from Patagonia concerned about the Valley´s future. What started as a local initiative became a national movement.
We are a non-profit NGO.
​
THE PROBLEM
Cochamo Valley is mostly unprotected and faces growing threats from:
Deforestation
Unregulated tourism
Hydroelectric projects
Real state projects.
​
LET'S DO IT!
Cochamo Park works to protect this unique landscape and contribute to the creation of Cochamo Valley National Park.

Our principles
1
intrinsic value of nature
Nature, living beings and the ecosystems that surround us have a value in themselves, independent of their relationship with the human species.
2
Responsible tourism is a value
Conservation and special interest tourism encourages the creation of strong links between local communities and the protected areas that surround them.
Our focus is on promoting a type of tourism that not only protects the environment, but is also beneficial to local communities.
3
Intergenerationally responsible
We consider that present generations have the duty to preserve and improve the state of nature for the benefit of future generations.
4
Independent
Our work is carried out and financed by our team of volunteers and partners, this allows us to maintain our freedom of action compared to other organizations.
5
Apolitical
We do not adhere to a particular political ideology. Anyone can participate.
