The sight hesitates, though it manages to see beyond, what lies on the other side. Opening a gate and crossing it is a unique experience, hard to put into words. It should be lived. It is like opening a door into the unknown and this may turn out to be a fascinating activity for tourists at the many estancias waiting to be discovered, where they will be welcomed with open arms by rural men and women.
