A guitar-shaped forest - more than one kilometer in length - is visible outside the city of Laboulaye, Argentina. For years, a couple by the name of Pedro Ureta and Graciela Yraizoz discussed the idea of creating such a design. However, when Graciela suddenly passed away, Pedro and their four children planted               cypress (the body of the instrument) and eucalyptus (the strings) trees in her honor. The guitar was her favorite instrument.
