Deep in Chilean Patagonia, Quitralco Sanctuary is offering investors something unprecedented in Latin America: the chance to protect wilderness forever through a legal instrument called the Conservation Real Right (DRC), established under Law No. 20,930.
Unlike a simple private agreement, the DRC is recorded directly on the land title — meaning the conservation commitment travels with the property regardless of who owns it. No future buyer, heir, or successor can claim ignorance of it. The protection is permanent, with no expiration date.
By acquiring a conservation unit at Quitralco, investors take on two simultaneous roles: landowner, with the title registered in their name, and shareholder of Reserva Quitralco SpA, the company that legally safeguards the project. Shareholders vote on management decisions, receive annual reports on the state of the land, and participate in revenues from carbon credits and ecosystem services.
The sanctuary spans a territory zoned according to IUCN international categories — with 90% of its surface area under the strictest conservation standards. Low-impact activities such as trekking, camping, and ecotourism are encouraged within the appropriate zones.
The DRC was developed in partnership with Ubilla y Cía., the law firm that drafted the original Conservation Real Right Act in Chile.
