Futaleufu

This carved wood sculpture is perfect as coastal decor. Unique piece of art, as unique as you are. You will not find another same piece like this. 

This sculpture is named after the river, located in northern Patagonia, one of two rivers that cross the 5,308 kilometers Argentina–Chile border. Its headwaters can be found in the glacial snow melt of the UNESCO protected Los Alerces National Park in Argentina. The river gorge drops as low as 1,700 meters (5,600 ft) below the surrounding glaciated peaks. The name Futaleufú is an indigenous Mapuche word meaning “Big River”. Locals refer to the valley as “un paisaje pintado por Dios” — a landscape painted by God.

Please note that these handmade pieces are very delicate and must be handled with great care. Never move them from the ends (fins or extremities for example).
