Caminho de Exploração

Saimos de van do lodge até o setor Laguna Edita, onde iniciaremos nossa caminhada com uma subida bem marcada pela encosta da estepe do Valle de Chacabuco. Ao chegar ao ponto mais alto, desceremos por uma floresta de nothofagus onde o silêncio só é interrompido pelo canto dos pássaros. Finalmente chegaremos à lagoa La Pepa que surpreende com seu azul profundo e vistas das serras circundantes.

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.
