A peek into the Maule oak forests: the best kept secret.

I'ts strange to find out that only three hours away from noisy Santiago, in the fothills of the Andes, there are primitive chilean oak forests, most of which remain yet unexplored.
A trip to a relative's log cabin in Buchen private reserve was the oportunity to browse a bit into this rare treasure.

But, on second thought, let's leave it there for the time being, or hopefully for ever.
The secret better be kept unrevealed...
