The Cliffs Preserve, Patagonia, Chile is an eco-luxury retreat and private preserve that comprises more than eight thousand pristine acres of evergreen Valdivian rain forest and six miles of imposing South Pacific coast, located west of Puerto Montt (41° 28' S) in Region X (the Lakes District). Our visit took place in spring (late November, 2009). | |||||||
