Valdivian Coastal Reserve is a natural reserve located in the Valdivian Coastal Range, in Los Ríos Region of Chile, near Corral. The reserve was formed in 2003 when the WWF, TNC and other local organizations acquired a large area of 597 km² of which 83% is categorized as Valdivian temperate rainforest and 7,8% was previously used for growing eucalyptus. Some native trees in the reserve includes Olivillo that forms dense forests near the coast and Fitzroya that grows in the higher parts. The Valdivian Coastal Reserve is the largest reserve in the Chilean Coast Range. The 9 km long Colún Beach and the Twin Lagoons of Colún lies inside the reserve just some kilometers north of Colún River. The lower flow of Bueno River mades upp the southern boundary of the reserve.
