Located in the heart of Argentine Patagonia, the Arrayanes Forest  emerges like an enchanted oasis, captivating visitors with its beauty and serene atmosphere. This unique forest in the world, composed of centuries-old arrayanes that rise to the sky with their reddish trunks and leafy crowns, houses a rich biodiversity and offers an incredible view.

The Arrayanes Forest is not only a visual spectacle, but also a refuge for a great variety of animals. Colorful birds, such as the real woodpecker and the chucao, flutter between the branches, while small mammals, such as the pudú and the weasel, hide among the leaves. The silence reigning in the forest is occasionally broken by birdsong and the gentle rustle of leaves in the wind, crafting an atmosphere of utter peace and tranquility.
