The “Valdivian Forest:Llancahue”Heritage Route is an opportunity to learn about the interesting
temperate rain forest in a sector where this kind of vegetation formations have practically
disappeared,becoming thus a real biodiversity reservein the north of Region X.Llancahue stream
catchment basin,that covers an around 1,300 hectare surface,is the main water source to the
city of Valdivia,and the forests developed there are one of the most pristine landscapes of the
province of Valdivia,reason why this route provides a unique opportunity to know the landscape
that existed over 200 years ago across the area. <br>

The catchment basin is a territory delimited by nature,basically by the limits of surface water
runoff zones that converge to asame river-bed.The basin,its natural resources,and its inhabitants
havephysical,biological,social,and cultural conditions that grant them particular characteristics.
This is a 4.8 kilometer walk in a circuit that takes around 4 hours at a moderate speed,ideal for
an all day long tour.You may find interesting flower species in this route,such as,majestic Coihues,
Tineos and Ulmos,the most varied climbing plants,a large number of ferns and lichens,among
others.In addition,this basin is one of the last fauna shelters,in consequence,you may find here
a wide diversity of birds, amphibia, and insects, and, if you are lucky, you may see a fox or a
woodpecker. <br>

LLancahue, was recently protected throught a declaration as a Conservation and sustainable
Development Area, for that reason,incorporated to the National Properties Ministry's National
Assets Protected System. Trought this System, the Ministry's goals are related with the best
benefits, coming from aaddition of different kind of protection, planning, accesibility, managing
and third party administration instruments.<br>

The first segment,that starts in the public road to Lomas del Sol,is a 2.5 kmtour which includes 13 guideposts of interest, where we can contemplate exuberant forests dominated by Coihues,as well as Llancahue stream. Species,such as,Coihue,Olivillo and Tepa may be identified in this segment, as well as realizing how important big trees are as an habitat for communities of birds,insects and other forms of life that live in the sector, and – ultimately – to understand significance of forests within water production process.

The second segment continues from Guidepost No.14 bythe medium part of the basin,until arriving to the start of the route, completing 2,3 kilometers that include 7 guideposts of interest.

The tour starts in an old forest where huge Olivillo, Ulmo, and Laurel trees may be observed, crossing then a mosaic of situations of different kinds of forests, observing Llancahue surroundings, and finally go back to the start point. What is interesting in this segment is the chance to admire a number of endemic species, typical of the Valdivian rain forest, allowing development of awide range of ferns, moss,lichens, mushrooms, and many fauna species,among which birds will make you the tour even more pleasant with their beautiful songs. <br>

We will also see a very contrasting situation: Llancahue surroundings, dominated by wide Pine or Eucalyptus forest plantation surfaces, evidencing transformations that may be generated by human beings on the landscape. <br>

Both segments,which can be traveled in one day,are only difficult to transit in certain sectors, where the track passes by flooded lands,such as,the stream sector, being therefore necessary to be prepared so as not to get wet. If you are not used to walk in this kind of terrain, consider additional time than provided in this topoguide. Evaluate times periodically in order to avoid being caught bythe night within the forest.


==Access and Location==

[[Imagen:Emplazamiento_bosque_llancahue.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Emplazamiento Bosque Llancahue. Imagen: [http://www.bienes.cl/sitioweb2009/recursos/nuevas_rutas/docs/27.pdf Bosque Valdiviano Llancahue. Ministerio de Bienes Nacionales] ]]

Llancahue lot is in south direction from Valdivia city, at less than one kilometer from the urban perimeter of the city and covers a surface of approximately 1,300 hectares.To access from downtown,you should take Ramón Picarte Avenue and move forward to the south until you exit the urban radius. At a few more than 5 kilometers from the square you will find at the left of the rubble road that goes inland through a hillside.Moving forward you will find a branching where you should take the road at the left and go upwards approximately 4 kilometers until you arrive to the start point of the route, where you can park your vehicle and begin hiking through the Heritage Route. avenue.In the corner of this avenue and Condell street, you could read the informative sign to the route.

==Trail markings==

The route is made up by 20 geo- referenced guideposts divided into 2 segments that depend on each other for a better orientation and understanding by visitors. Distance between guideposts varies depending on thematic characteristics of each interesting point and on orientation within the tour.Marks indicating the route have also been used for further support in the direction to be followed,avoiding thus to take paths that could drive you away from the route.
