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, 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.
