Lamentablemente da la sensación que a los locales no les interesa que los visiten. Para dar un ejemplo... Cuesta encontrar un lugar donde almorzar en Barreal.

Paisajes soñados, gente muy amable y cordial! Superó ampliamente nuestras expectativas. Contacto con la naturaleza en estado puro. Hay muchas actividades para desarrollar. Hay que estudiar los mapas y las distintas posibilidades para aprovechar al máximo el tiempo y los largos kilometros! En la zona de Barreal recomendamos a @bahoaventurabarreal, y a Posada Paso de los Patos. En Valle Fértil recomendamos el Hotel Rústico y a Hugo Fernandez para los paseos. Todos excelentes personas y profesionales del turismo!
