Silueta y Reflejo - Nano Muñoz Today, with the running of the timesm her profile presides the Occident of El Maitén valley, for enhancement of the landscape and enjoying of those who, day by day, escorts her rest.

In the summer, every hour is an spectacle. But is in the winter when this is best by the Sun position. In the afternoons, the sun falls just behind the rock profile, generating a gorgeous show of lights and shadows that amazes to the lucky people present in that moment.

Sometimes somebody can think that an inoportune whistle of our train, La Trochita, wakes up her from her milenary dream, but she continues marking the premises of the site: peace and rest, as a change of way to the actual times.
