In the south of Chile is the Aysén Region, an area composed of fjords, glaciers, snow-capped mountains and lush forests. In this area is the Queulat National Park.

This park is one of the main tourist attractions in the region; however, it lacks infrastructure, mainly in the area of the hanging snowdrift, where there is only a suspension bridge.

In order to consolidate tourism as a central axis for the development of the Region, it is proposed to improve and reinforce the ecological linkage through this project that aims to create an architecture that goes in harmony with the southern landscape of Chile. Wood is thought of as a constructive element and typical of the Chilean territory to carry out the work.

It is proposed to create 7 stays arranged in strategic locations within the Park, where the lines are governed by the pre-existence and geographical conditions. The relationship with the bridge, river connection and view towards the snowdrift give way to its location.
Each artifact is connected to each other by roads, trails and bridges, the 7 stays are:
-Portico of the Rest.
-Conaf pass - Park Rangers.
-Cafeteria.
-Exhibition Tower.
-Hostelry.
-Kayak Pier.
-Observatory of the Birds.
