Guardians of the Ancient Araucaria
The area’s unique position adjacent to Conguillio National Park provides access to some of Chile’s most biodiverse ecosystems, where every trail reveals new wonders and every vista tells a story millions of years in the making.
Our 120 hectare conservation property represents something truly special – a privately protected sanctuary that borders Conguillio National Park, dedicated to preserving one of the world’s most ancient tree species, the Araucaria araucana, or monkey puzzle tree, which has survived since the time of dinosaurs. Our commitment to conservation ensures these living monuments continue to thrive for future generations. From our property one can climb to the Sierra Nevada summit within the National Park.
Walking through our protected Araucaria groves feels like stepping back in time. These magnificent trees, some over 1,000 years old, create a cathedral-like atmosphere where filtered sunlight dances through prehistoric canopies. Our conservation efforts not only protect this endangered species but also provide crucial habitat corridors that connect with the national park, supporting wildlife movement and genetic diversity. The Magellanic Carpenter bird and Condor are frequent visitors to the area and can regularly be sighted.
This isn’t just conservation for its own sake – it’s about creating a space where visitors can experience authentic wilderness while contributing to meaningful environmental protection. Every guest who stays with us becomes part of this conservation story.
