The Valdivian temperate rainforests are characterized by their dense understories of bamboos, ferns, and for being mostly dominated by evergreen angiosperm trees with some deciduous specimens, though conifer trees are also common.

North of 42°, the Chilean Coast Range stretches on, with just the north–south running Chilean Central Valley between it and the Andes.
