Cuyen is in El Hoyo (“the
hole”), a Patagonian locality which lies next to
the river Epuyén and is nestled among the Pirque
and the Currumahuida mountains. On entering El Hoyo, a
sign reads "Welcome to the National Capital for Soft
Fruit".
El Hoyo is in the Andean range of parallel 42, to the
south east of Argentina. This is the region of the great
national parks: Nahuel Huapi, Lago Puelo, Los Alerces,
a spectacular backdrop
of lakes and mountain rivers surrounded by virgin forests.
Settlements like El Hoyo occupy small valleys ringed
by mountains and garlanded with native plant species
like the arrayán, maitén, radal and lenga.
The contrast between the short, cold days of winter
and the long, sun-drenched ones of summer endow the
fruit with its incomparable size, colour and taste.
Patagonia's well-earned international reputation as
an almost virgin area is the real secret of our range
of highly differentiated and hard-to-match products.
