Laguna Torca National Reserve

Situated a bare 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the Pacific Ocean and adjoins Lago Vichuquen, in the coastal mountains.

The feeding swans add to the tranquility of the scene, and the main road runs through the side of the laguna giving a close up view of the Wildlife.

The main road cuts through one of the side arms of the lagoon and gives a great vantage point to see the many swans feeding.

The sheer size of these old trees is something that is seen very rarely in this area with the modern forestry industry geared up for quick growth and replanting.

The trees were originally planted to stop the inland march of the sand dunes from the beach at Llico playa.
