Patagonia is a place with enormous added value since it has the largest concentration of water and native vegetation on planet Earth. Come and experience the peace of mind of investing in a place that will benefit your family.
The flora of the Aysén Region is rich and diverse, with a remarkable presence of native berries, many of which are virtually unknown to the rest of the world due to their origin in this part of Chile. These berries are not only unique in flavor but also packed with powerful antioxidants, making them a true treasure of the region. Some of the most notable varieties include:
- Calafate (72,000 ORAC)
- Michay (33,000 ORAC)
- Maqui (37,000 ORAC)
- Murta (23,000 ORAC)
- Zarzaparrilla (27,000 ORAC)
- Grosella (9,000 ORAC)
- Moras (22,000 ORAC)
- Sauco (15,000 ORAC)
ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is the unit of measurement for antioxidant power, specifically the total polyphenol content of a fruit. For comparison, wine has a value of 1,000 ORAC, while blueberries have 5,000 ORAC. These native berries offer an impressive contribution to fighting free radicals and supporting overall health. Their high antioxidant content makes them an essential part of the natural landscape at Patagonia Shelter, embodying the purity and vitality of the environment.
«The truth is, the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water, and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it.»— David Attenborough
