A forest of sculptures breathing new life into dead trees (34 photos + 1 video)

On the slopes of Mount Piltricitron, towering above the Patagonian town of El Bolson, lies a stunning forest. It's known as El Bosque Talladó, which translates as "The Carved Forest."





This park was created in 1998 at the initiative of Argentine artist Marcelo López.



The Andean foothills are known for frequent rockfalls, and the region's dry climate favors forest fires. This combination shapes the appearance of the local forests, and Piltricitron is no exception: fallen, dried, and even charred trees can be found everywhere. After a massive forest fire in the 1980s, the mountain slopes were littered with charred trunks.





The brilliant idea behind this open-air museum is to give fallen trees a second life by transforming them into beautiful wooden sculptures. When the project began, a group of artists came together and created the first 13 sculptures in just a week and a half. Since then, artists from all over the world have joined the initiative, creating a total of over 60 works that can be admired today.



Thus was born a unique symbol of rebirth, which has become a key attraction for all who travel along the Andean Corridor.
