Pala en Mano Conservation Festival, Puerto Varas

The Pala en Mano Conservation Festival is an initiative that brings together businesses, communities, and regions to restore native forests in southern Chile. Through volunteer events, environmental education, and concrete climate action, the festival turns sustainability commitments into real, measurable, and traceable impact, fostering a more active and mindful relationship with nature. For its 2026 edition, the festival is moving to Puerto Varas, where its main highlight will be the ecological restoration of Cerro Philippi, an iconic site in the city. On June 26 and 27, activities open to the community will take place, combining talks, documentaries, and fieldwork, inviting companies, institutions, and families to be part of a collective effort to restore ecosystems and strengthen environmental culture in the region. This edition will be supported by Marca Chile, reinforcing the country’s position as a leader in sustainability, conservation, and climate action with local impact and global reach.
