Cave of Ispingoli, or chasm of the virgins. The cave is dominated by an enormous 38-metre 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, as archeological research has discovered the site was probably used by the Phoenician as a sacrificial well.
3
In case you do not want to go down into the cave of the virgins, you can visit Mount Ortobene where, from the top, you can have a spectacular view of the whole Supramonte.
4
and now we 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.
What's not included
Entrance to the cave of Ispinigoli 8 euro and the lunch with the shepherds, 30 euro
