→Food Supply on the Trail
On section 5 6 to 10 you will cross the Araucania region with plenty distribution range of the impressive Araucaria trees, that are ancient evergreen coniferous trees. What we liked on these living fossiles were not just the imposing figure, but the nutritious female sead cones that are rich in carbohydrates. These fruites or "piñones" were the main staple food for the indigious Pehuenche people and they teached us how to harvest and prepare them. You can gather these Araucaria "piñoes" between February and April.
