Some 300 km south of the city of Coyhaique, OHMi Patagonia-Bahia Exploradores is located in the Aysén region of Chilean Patagonia, at the mouth of the Exploradores River and the Pacific fjords, far removed from any human settlement. The remote situation has helped conserve a unique ecosystem where the main forcing factor was, until now, based on the influence of climatic conditions.
The territory provides the ideal framework for observing the transformations brought about by an ongoing process of anthropization: namely the development of a tourist and productive economy (livestock) combined with the development of transport channels over land and sea, with increasing impacts on an ecosystem that had previously remained untouched.
