1. Aguas
The origin of all life lies in water. The action of glaciers, erosion, and more recently, streams and rivers like the Cochrane and Baker, have shaped a landscape that supports remarkable biodiversity. This environment is home to evergreen forests, birds like the Magellanic woodpecker, intricate fungal networks, and the elusive huemul, the southern Andean deer.
Explore its glacier-fed rivers, with their turquoise hues, lakes, and wetlands that sustain this intricate web of life. Over time, human history has also intertwined with this vibrant ecosystem, sharing in and evolving alongside it.

2. Veranadas
For the troperos - traditional nomadic herders - and ranchers of the region, the year was divided into two key seasons: the "veranada" and the "invernada. During the summer, the troperos drove their cattle to the veranadas, high pastures that, once free of snow, provided abundant grazing in clearings surrounded by deciduous forests of ñirre and lenga. In winter, the herds moved to the winter pastures, lower, sheltered areas where corrals provided protection from inclement weather.
Today, thanks to the ecological restoration efforts led by Rewilding Chile, these clearings and ancient forests used for cattle grazing have been transformed into a natural sanctuary waiting to be explored.

3. El Monte
In the Aysén region, "el monte" describes the mountain areas beyond the forest line, where temperatures drop and vegetation disappears. This landscape of the Patagonian Andes, shaped by ancient glaciers, reveals Patagonia's vastness and untamed beauty from a unique perspective. For those wishing to explore the area's natural history and impressive geological formations, exploring this more challenging terrain is an ideal experience.

4. El Valle Histórico
Framed by majestic mountains of many hues, the vast Chacabuco Valley stretches from east to west. Sculpted over millennia by geological forces and glacial activity, this breathtaking basin is now home to the Patagonian steppe, where guanacos roam free, pumas leave their tracks, and condors soar high above. The Chacabuco River Valley tells a story of enduring interaction between man and nature - once a refuge for ancient hunter-gatherer groups, and later a grazing ground for the vast herds of the estancia era. Today, its intricate network of trails invites explorers to discover a legacy of transformation, resilience and conservation.
