The December 31, 1971, when the volcano erupted Villarrica an avalanche swept through the land located in the lower levels of P inohuacho , which lost lives, homes, barns, livestock and cultivated land for after a few hours going through the same place as the lava flows becoming a productive soil and cultivated soil inert, so that crops had to move to other higher areas where soil quality is not affected. But the same man's action on the territory helped to devastate it was not enough to wipe the avalanche and lava, native forests mañío , and tepa Coigüe mainly.
Deforestation by logging action coigüe , tepa mañío and subsistence village woodcutter.
Such a scenario was predict the extinction of the town, as farmland became scarce as the timber for the sale of wood and furniture, new generations were destined to migrate to the city to improve their quality of life and thus give the condition of subsistence . The opportunities offered by the geographical area and were not the same, shoot newly reforested could again generate income more or less important in 40 years.
The winter of 2005 Miguel Vazquez , son of Don P edro , the woodcutter begins to tell his father about the concern I had about his future in P inohuacho . Miguel, on some trips to S antiago magazines had encountered trying the issue of rural tourism, in addition to product catalogs zip , Climbing and canopy . It was these trips and coincidences that allowed her father Michael proposed to shift the item that they exercised in such a place, to now engage in agritourism , take the few forests that remain to care for and show them to tourists, implemented in the slopes of a hill circuit canopy, refurbish old logging roads to trails for horseback riding and trekking .
Today, Miguel Vazquez and his brother Danilo, are the guides of the canopy and zip-line circuit to be installed on the slopes of the hill and into a coigüe to 50 feet high. Help their cousins, his mother and aunts, prepare lunches and afternoon tea to visitors, uncles and neighbors bring horses, and food to trade there. The younger generations are in the summer to work with their parents, unlike what was happening in previous years, even should hire outside labor for work attachments to the activity, such as forest clearing, reforestation, and conditioning new trails. Pinohuacho is going to be a community where the employer concern about the capacity offered by the territory they inhabit is giving value to land that they were losing so much by natural reasons for the action of man.
