During this 30 minutes walk we will try to find the origin of these sounds.
This valley, the strange rock forms, and a peculiar cave, all adds to a new experience. Legendary flavors that reach this gastronomic moment passing from generation to generation. Holding our bowl in our hands, we enjoy a live music moment: winds or strings will be played for us. Hearing, smell, taste, will be the first rewarded of the day. Resuming our walk we come across with a new experience: an ancient cave that once provided shelter to natives is now the stage for the primitive. Living fire and meat brochettes. Each guest will cook his own piece in this new culinary moment.
Again, we get back on the trial to return to our departing point. On arrival we will find a Clay Oven preparing the next course of our meal, a corn pie. The primitive corn was one of the keys to the American civilizations development.
We cross Limay River again to return to our vehicle, and then drive back to Bariloche, arriving around 5,30pm.
