Testimonies of those who traveled: “I found the Nahuelbuta area very interesting. Manuel Maribur introduced me to the energetic vibe of the ancient forests. It was on a trekking with him, in silence, that I could understand how to respect a space that does not belong to us, but to the biodiversity that lives there.�
