La Campana National Park is located in the Cordillera de la Costa, Quillota Province, in the Valparaíso Region of Chile. This national park covers about 80 square kilometres and is home to one of the last palm forests of Jubaea chilensis (Chilean Wine Palm). Another attraction is the Cerro La Campana, which gives the name to the park. In 1834 Charles Darwin climbed this mountain, during The Voyage of the Beagle.
