Spanish term or phrase: Conjunto natural
Buenos días. Estoy traduciendo un folleto de los lugares que se pueden visitar en mi región. Habla principalmente de montañas y espacios naturales. Para hacer referencia a todo esto utiliza el término "conjunto natural" y no estoy muy segura de cómo traducirlo. He pensado en traducirlo como "natural whole" o "natural complex". ¿Qué pensáis? ¡Gracias!

Explanation:
I would use the above terms interchangeably (i.e. whichever sounds better in each sentence). I would avoid complex or whole.

agree  Isamar: If the heading is for a section, "The Outdoors" sounds good using the others as Simon suggests.

agree  Gilla Evans: the natural environment is a good catch-all, but it does depend on the sentence.
