Eulychnia castanea is a species of Eulychnia found in Chile.
This species is native to the coastal regions of northern Chile, specifically along the coastline from Los Molles in the Valparaíso region north to the Talinay mountain range in the Coquimbo region. It thrives in desert and dry scrub biomes, preferring coastal environments such as flat rocky surfaces, north-facing slopes, marine terraces, and ravines, typically found at elevations from sea level up to around 500 meters. The soils it grows in are chemically diverse, with pH levels between 6.5 and 8, indicating an adaptability to both slightly acidic and alkaline conditions.
