The monkey puzzle tree or araucaria can be found in southern Argentina and southern Chile. The nuts are locally known as "piñon" (singular) / "piñones" (plural).

It is not my favourite nut I must say, but the flavor is OK.

They're also common in southern Brazil and Australia. There's an entire region in Brazil known as "Araucaria forest".

I love their flavor, by the way.
