Composed of immense Valleys, which merge with the Chacabuco River, they form a natural corridor traveled since ancient times by nomadic ethnic groups and a great diversity of flora and fauna. Scene of large cattle ranches, today the grasslands have been recovering after a century of overgrazing and are home to one of the highest levels of biodiversity in the Aysén region in Chilean Patagonia. The Patagonian steppe in all its splendor, mountain ranges, lenga and ñirre forests that turn red in autumn, dozens of lagoons and spectacular lakes such as Cochrane and Jeinimeni give life to landscapes of overwhelming beauty, an active wildlife that tells the story of history of one of the most important ecosystem restoration projects in Chile.
