Tolhuaca National Park (Spanish pronunciation: [tolˈwaka]) is a protected area created on October 16, 1935, in an area of 3,500 ha that was previously part of the Malleco National Reserve.[1] In 1985, a second section of Malleco National Reserve was also made part of the national park. Malleco National Reserve was the first protected wildlife area in both Chile and South America, so the land within Tolhuaca National Park is one of the oldest protected areas on the continent.
