Overview
The Tourism Development in Tres Ríos is organised around a master plan that structures three main zones in a mountainous setting. The Access Zone welcomes visitors with a stone and timber building that marks the start of the route, flanked by the entrance gate and a road that climbs toward the centre of the complex.
The Central Zone is divided into two sectors. The northern sector holds the administration building and a boulevard with a curved stone wall that connects plazas and buildings. It also adds a seating area under tree shade arranged as an amphitheatre for small groups. The southern sector houses the two-storey horizontal research building, open toward a grassy hill. A covered semicircular timber bridge connects to the climbing wall. The natural stone walkways include a landscape balcony centred on the hill for contemplation and gathering.
Peripheral projects complete the complex with a campsite on natural terraces, with timber cabins and walkways that respect the topography, courts with seating built into the slope and a circular campfire space in the forest. The project promotes learning, outdoor activity and contact with nature for the local community and visitors from across the country.
