Capacity building event for ecoturism guides

A training seminar was held in the Municipality of Pucon, 2, 5 and 6 July 2009 to develop capacity for sustainable tourism in the region of Araucania. Nico Galvez presented a comprehensive presentation on local biodiversity, particularly focusing on recognition of wildlife signs, such as tracks in the case of mammals and bird calls. The seminar was organised by environmental consultants, Camina, as part of the development of a network of ecotourism ventures, in which our field station in Pichares and the Kod kod restaurant are participating.
