Description
We start the tour with the Ispinigoli cave near the town of Dorgali. The cave is dominated by an enormous 38-meter-high limestone column, one of the tallest stalactite-stalagmite examples in Europe. In the past, it was known as the Virgins' Abyss, a name with haunting significance: archaeological research has discovered that the site was probably used by the Phoenicians as a sacrificial well. Finally, we will go to the Orgosolo Supramonte, where we will enjoy tasty, typical Sardinian open-air cooking among the ancient holm oaks. This special lunch with the shepherds will enable you to discover the genuine flavours of this ancient land, enhanced by the full-bodied local wine, Cannonau—strong in both colour and taste. On the way back, we will visit the centre of Orgosolo with its famous murals.
