Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers are located within Bernardo O’Higgins National Park, the largest in Chile and covering vast areas of Magallanes and Aysen Regions. It stands out for the protection of wildlife species such as the Huemul Deer, Sea Lions and birds like the King Cormorant, Eagles, Cahuil Gulls and Condors. In terms of flora, evergreen trees predominate, such as the Magellanic Coigüe, Cinnamon and Cypress of the Guaitecas.
