It has an area of 12.7 km2, of which 7 km2 are old-growth forest.[2] [3] The protected area host a relatively unscathed remnant of lowland (<300 m asl.) Valdivian temperate forest.[2] Part of the protected area contain secondary forest that started to develop after a fire around 1914, while other secondary forests originated from intense wood logging.[4]
The main tree species in Llancahue are Nothofagus dombeyi, Eucryphia cordifolia, Laureliopsis philippiana and Aextoxicon punctatum.[5]
The drainage basin of Llancahue is used for water supply in the nearby city of Valdivia.[5]
