﻿The Cáhuil Lagoon Wetland offers unique conditions, and despite the resilience of many species that inhabit it, this type of ecosystem is quite fragile, as it depends on many factors to maintain a perfect balance. Its proximity to the sea, the combination of fresh and saltwater, its pristine waters protected by millennia of sustainable human activity, and the Cáhuil and Barrancas Salt Flats are a perfect and rare example of cooperation and mutual benefit between humans and nature.These conditions are ideal for bird watching and photography from a touring kayak, allowing you to cover long distances with minimal physical effort and in complete silence. You can capture beautiful photographs from a safe distance to avoid disturbing the birds or simply observe them as they go about their daily routines in their natural habitat. You’ll also have the opportunity to reach inaccessible corners, discovering unique ecosystems.The wetland reveals its full splendor in the areas of Cáhuil, Barrancas, and La Palmilla, where the waters of the Nilahue Estuary mix with the lagoon. Near the mouth of the river, large flocks of various shorebird species can be seen perched or performing artistic and perfectly synchronized flights. Exploring towards the Andes Mountains, in the Cáhuil area, abandoned ancient salt flats provide refuge for large colonies of swans, ducks, and herons, many of which have chosen the wetland as their permanent home.
