Discussing under the concepts of a scientific model reports certain difficulties, especially in the development of reflections and ways of thinking the geographical space. The following case presents the progress in the urban expansion in the city of Valdivia, Chile, within the framework to offers an exceptional occupation in certain spaces with relevant natural value, but whose commercial aptitude makes them even more tasty for housing operations and infrastructure. It is observed, from the evidence gathered in the area, that the articulations in the reproduction of capital in space break natural barriers, converting it permanently into anthropized and suitably altered spaces, turning it into a second nature. This new version of the environment abandons its qualities as an obstacle, resulting in exceptional areas for analysis, such as the Guacamayo sector at the city of Valdivia. The bandurria is the excuse to test the conceptual framework that political ecology offers to know about the cross between society and nature.
