FUNDO TIC TOC

Fundo Tic Toc is a rare and remarkable 570-acre property on Chile’s Corcovado coast – an expanse of land encircled entirely by protected forests and an ECMPO marine park. As the only accessible landing point along this remote shoreline, Tic Toc serves as a threshold to one of the wildest and most pristine regions of Patagonia.

The Tic Toc Framework Plan developed by the foundation envisions a thoughtful and deliberate path – one that preserves the significant biodiversity and indigenous heritage of this extraordinary landscape while deepening our collective understanding of what it means to coexist with nature at its most elemental. The plan employs conservation strategies grounded in simplicity, utilizing basic tools, local materials, and traditional methods, demonstrating a deep respect for both place and process.

Ecological work to-date includes hydrology studies, identification of regional habitats such as a bog nursery for the endangered Guaitecas Cypress, and assessments of forest and shrubland growth patterns. Ongoing restoration along the fragile forest/ocean edge focuses on reviving salt-tolerant grasses and protecting wetlands and dunes within the tidal zone. Under the care of onsite stewards, invasive species removal, cypress rehabilitation, forest thinning, dune restoration, and trail marking continue, quiet acts of guardianship within one of Patagonia’s most profound natural frontiers.

These efforts position Tic Toc as a living laboratory for understanding and preserving the ecological thresholds of Patagonia’s coastal wilderness.
