The park
Wild creek at the background area of the compound
Thanks to the presence of groundwaters, this creek is full of trees and bushes for example:
- «Copao» and «Quisco» Cacti. We have introduced the variety called gatito, and medicinal aloes
- 2 “Litre” trees approximately 70 years old
- Several «Guayacán» trees
- «Alcaparra» bushes, «Palo Negro»: a type of bush that only blooms in winter, whose white flowers serve as nourishment for bees and other insects.
- As spring arrives, a massive blooming of wild flowers spreads throughout the compund: «añañucas de fuego, or naranjas», «huilis» in all their variety of colors: white , lila, «suspiros de mar», «maripositas de campo» or «pajaritos», «azulillos» with typical intense violet-blue color
- Area with huge rocks in front of the VIP terrace

Reforestation area
The land at the background area of the compund has a good quality soil with moderate humidity.
This area was selected to recreater the former landscape of the surroundingsby planting native species mostly typical from the IV region.
The bushes that had completed their life cycle were removed and reused as biomass to nourish the soil of this section of the plot.
Distributed in the area you may find «Molles», «Aromos», «Carbonillos», «Quebrachos», «Alcaparras», «Algarrobos», «Papayos», «Lucumillos» (These are in the vicinity of the cabanas), medicinal Aloes medicinales, complemented by lavender and ruda plants.
It is an ongoing project that needs constant monitoring to the the evolution of the specimens planted.
In order to attract as many birds as possible we introduced species that grew faster, for example: «Miosporo» trees and «Cardenales».
The plot and its vegetation are progressively turning into a sustainable ecosystem.
The Aloes that grow are planted in other sections of the compound or given as asouvenir to the guests along with care indications.
The «Cardenales» are pruned to increase their blooming obtaining coloured hints every now and then among the green areas. The pruning remainders are planted in different sections of the plot.
Cacti are also affected by the building development in the surroundings, therefore, we have also considered giving them a space to grow: From the cacti already present at the time of the purchase of the plot, we have planted additional «Quiscos» «Tunas», «San Pedro», and a kind of crawler cacti to see how it evolves in its new habitat.
