The Alfaguara project is a marine life conservation project operated from Puñihuil in the northwest of Chiloé Island, the main island in the Chiloé Archipelago in southern Chile.

"Alfaguara" was the name given to blue whales by Chilean whalers. The focus of the project is on preservation of these endangered animals, the largest in the world.^[1] The project is operated by the Centro de Conservacion Cetacea (CCC), established in 2001.^[2] Its studies have made the Chiloé blue whale population one of the best understood in the southern hemisphere.^[3]
