The Ascensio Valley is home to this endemic forest of Lenga, Coique and Nirre. These three species are part of the Nothofagus family. Behind this scientific name are actually the equivalents to our beeches in the northern hemisphere. These are in some ways the southern or southern beeches.

When it gets more autumnal, the deciduous trees change color and shimmer in a variety of reds. Experience an Indian Summer in the Chilean mountains.
