Sumario:Although it is true that ecotourism may contribute to the conservation of protected areas, its secondary impact on the environment is often neglected and specifically the impact of ecotourism on wildlife has been little studied. In the arrayanes forest (Luma apiculata (DC.) Burret) in Arrayanes National Park, Quetrihue peninsula, intense tourism occurs since 1971. Even though the National Park has an area of 1840 ha tourism is almost wholly concentrated within the approximately 20 ha of arrayanes forest on its southern tip. The forest of L. apiculata as a dominant species is so unusual as to turn it into a site of scientific interest. On the basis of these considerations we decided to study the impact of noise on birds in this site. We did not find significant relation between bird behaviour and noise, nor noise levels over regulations or which could generate harm to the hearing system of birds.
