	Region's flora and fauna This region has one of the world's most marvellous forests, which emerged due to the temperate weather caused by the ocean's proximity and the rare geological evolution of the Chilean territory. The great amount of rain that falls through the year, which sometimes reaches 3.500 mm, allows the development of an exuberant flora. Among the amazing vegetation of the region, the exceptional trees' variety give life to the Magellan Forest. Some of the most common Patagonia's trees are the Alerce, Lenga, Coigüe, Ñirrea, Canelo and the Guaitecas Cypress. Also bushes like Calafate, Ciruelillo and Leñadura.

Among the insects one may find the Ciervo Volante and Coleóptero del Coigüe. Bird-life is abundant: The Carancho or Carrion-Hawk is one of the characteristic birds of the Patagonian landscape; the presence of long-tailed green parakeets attracted the attention of the earlier navigators; and hummingbirds may be seen flying amidst the falling snow.
