Years ago, before sustainability had become a household concept, the inhabitants of Juan Fernández had already made it a lifestyle. Over a century ago they outlined their own sustainable fishing practices and were pioneers in the conservation of extensive areas of both land and sea.
Declared UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 1977, the Archipelago of Juan Fernández stands out for its untamed nature and high levels of endemism both on land and at sea. Nature is the absolute protagonist and all activities revolve around the enormous ecological wealth of the place.
