After arriving at our destination, we'll embark on an incredible hiking adventure through the Alerce Andino National Park, a protected natural area that never fails to charm its visitors.

Along the way, and to the tunes of the hundreds of endemic birds singing, we'll discover a wide variety of botanical species such as hazelnut trees, myrtles, coihues, and ulmos. Let's learn how to tell them all apart!
