On a five-hectare property, surrounded by native forests and covered by a halo of indescribable charm, and just four kilometers from the Chubut town of El Hoyo is Laberinto Patagonia, a peculiar experience to enjoy with families and friends this long weekend. It is one of the largest labyrinths in South America, made with a living fence of 8,000 square meters, with 2,200 meters of path to walk and a circuit. A stimulating proposal for those who visit the Andean area.
The energy, the colors, the challenges, the laughter, the disagreements and encounters with oneself and with others are presented in this space that began its history in 1996, After planting the trees that make it up today, taking into account knowledge of Kabbalah, sacred geometry, mythology, philosophy and a lot of magic, that make people from all over the world want to live this experience that they will remember forever.
“In every labyrinth there is always a way out but first you have to get lost,” Claudio Levi, who celebrates 40 years in the area, told Télam. and who was inspired by his inner child, explorer, artist and creator of labyrinths with furniture in the living room of his house, to materialize his own labyrinth in the south of the country.
Levi lived in the town of Olivos, in the northern area of Greater Buenos Aires, where he and his friends searched for secret passages, entered abandoned mansions, explored vacant lots, aqueducts and tunnels. In addition, an unforgettable visit to the Cordoban labyrinth of Los Cocos, reading by authors such as Franz Kafka and Jorge Luis Borges, and musicians such as the violinist Paganini They were fundamental sources to create his southern labyrinth.
After working for more than ten years to see the growth of more than two thousand cypresses with which he built the labyrinth, Levi explains that he always worked waiting “the moment of peace, always waiting to finish seeing the process, how all this ends.”
And he assures that the creation of his Patagonian labyrinth “it is lost in the dreamlike” since it is “dreamlike.” What you see in a maze is the entrance and you have to look for an exit, and for that there is a whole series of passageways, corridors, which can be physical, can be fences, can be walls,” he added.
In that sense, he warned that “the person can take it as a game or as an allegory of life that always, in every labyrinth that is presented to you, there is a way out but first it is necessary to get lost, something that sometimes happens with a partner, in a job, in a venture, in a university degree… but the way out is always there.
«The magical part is the one I like the most, because children and adults play it, because a five-year-old child enters and gets excited, runs, comes and goes and an 80-year-old person enters and also, he forgets that he is 80 years old» , he noted.
in the labyrinth «you forget the character; The labyrinth washes you, purifies you because you enter there and the moment you entered, in that first step in which you are already looking for the exit, you forgot. Now I am the person and I have to get out of here and I have nothing more than my body; “There is no gadget, there is no GPS of any value, there is no drone,” she added.
«In a labyrinth there is a rational part but you have a lot of intuition, “It exercises your intuition, which is why children generally come out before adults, before parents,” said the creator.
On the property where the labyrinth is located there is also a tea house, like a storybook, with majestic views of the hills and the space of branching paths, where they offer delicacies made with local raw materials.
Throughout the year it hosts artistic meetings and shows.among other activities, in addition to the sale of books, photographs, jewelry, ceramics and productions by local artists.
It works there too “La Sidrería”, a restaurant with a gastronomic proposal that offers Patagonian dishes, drinks and artisanal ciderwhile the GAL art gallery offers musical events and sensory experiences that include art, technology, sound and movement.
