People find this frog under logs near streams in forests with Nothofagus plants and in forests with pine trees. Sometimes people find them at the ends of eucalyptus tree farms. Scientists saw this frog between 100 and 1200 meters above sea level.[2][1]

Scientists saw the frog in Nahuelbuta National Park.[2][1]
