During the visit to the peninsula, in the spring and summer seasons, the significant presence of the copihue will draw attention. A climbing shrub of the lilac family, which receives the scientific name of '' Lapageria rosea ''. The copihue is the national flower of Chile since 1977, it is currently a species in extinction, and therefore, its commercialization as a cut flower is forbidden, currently being sold as a plant. Its red, pink, yellow, white or mixed flowers are hanging and fleshy between 5 and 10 cm in length, formed by 6 petals (3 internal and 3 external), bell-shaped appearance. This plant takes about 10 years to flower, with flowering from March to May. It grows in dark forests where there is great humidity present. In the Mapuche language the copihue is called '' Copiu ''.
'' 'Legend of the copihue' ''
There are two legends in Mapuche mythology that narrate the birth of the '' copihue ''. One of them says that the Mapuche warriors, survivors of the battles, climbed the trees to see the result of the fight. When they realized that their companions lay dead on the ground and that only destruction reigned, they shed tears that turned into flowers of blood. These flowers or copihues allowed to remember the spirits of the dead in battles. The second legend tells that the Mapuche princess '' Hues '' and the Pehuenche prince '' Copih '', loved each other in secret. One day they were found by Copiñiel, her father, on the shores of the Nahuel lagoon, at the same moment, '' Copih '' and '' Hues '' were pierced in the heart with spears, both dying and sinking in the lagoon. Some time later, the Mapuche and Pehuenche peoples, saddened by the absence of them, gathered on the shores of the lagoon to remember them. At dawn, two spears emerged from the waters, both were intertwined and tied by a vine and there were two beautiful elongated flowers, one red as blood and one as white as snow. These flowers were baptized as copihue, in honor of the union of lovers.

'''Milestone Nº12 - Lingue native forest'''
 
From the middle zone of the peninsular isthmus, the route continues 70 meters to Hito N ° 12, corresponding to the native Lingue forest. The species Persea lingue is found in abundance here, an endemic tree that grows in humid places and is characterized by being perennial or "always green", maintaining its compact foliage throughout the year. The replacement of its leaves can be noticed from the different shades, since when they dry they acquire a reddish color that contrasts with the predominant green. Another of its particularities is the fruit, which, being ripe, has a blue-black color and a bitter taste.
