Travel Guide Barreal

Those who like to go on adventures would be well advised to go to the locality of Barreal, in the Calingasta valley. Huddled near the Río Los Patos river, it has preserved its picturesque character, and the surrounding area offers countless possibilities: horseback riding, trekking, motorbiking, etc. Mint is cultivated here, and its fragrances fill the air with the scent of mint. A strong wind from the cordillera blows here all the time, which gave some ideas to a Belgian who was passing through the area: an original sport was born from his imagination, carrovelling, in which ... sailing cars compete. International competitions have been held there regularly since 1975.
