Tobatí

Tobatí smells of fired clay: family brickworks and potteries, wood-burning kilns and workshops where ñai'ũ ceramics are shaped and saints and masks are carved from cedar, timbó or guatambú wood. At the Villa Artesanal and the workshops of the 21 de Julio neighborhood you buy straight from the artisan. All around, the last hills of the Cordillera de los Altos hide bat caves, the Virgen del Camino lookout and Cerro Arco, a natural stone bridge spanning more than nine meters, great for photos and rappelling.
