Renamed the Silver Forest after burning down in 2011, this section is slowly but surely recovering from the ravages of the fire. So much so that the huemules and the birds of prey are gradually resuming their quarters there.

For information, the fire was started by hikers who wanted to burn their toilet paper after defecating in nature. an event that reminds us that it is important to respect the areas dedicated to different uses: toilets and shelters fitted out for the use of "stoves".

This part of the forest burned down in 2011 and is slowly recovering from the fire. Huemul and birds of prey have since taken over.
Nature is resilient.

Most of the trees bear the marks of fire, which was caused by a careless "trekker". horizonguides.com/journal/forest-fires-in-torres-del-paine
