Leyendas sobre la Caverna<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hay algunas leyendas sobre la Caverna, las cuales han sido aportadas por algunos gu\u00edas de turismo y que ellos utilizan en sus relatos y explicaciones a los visitantes a la Caverna:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCuenta una leyenda que los abor\u00edgenes sol\u00edan usar la primera sala (sala de La Virgen). All\u00ed los Machis, (m\u00e9dicos brujos) de cada tribu, realizaban sus ceremonias rituales, encend\u00edan grandes fuegos y se sentaban a su alrededor y cuando bailaban haciendo grandes c\u00edrculos en el fuego, sus sombras en las paredes se ve\u00edan fantasmag\u00f3ricas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuentan tambi\u00e9n que ingresaban mujeres con ni\u00f1os en brazos, y luego se escuchaban lamentos, llantos, extra\u00f1os ruidos y se ve\u00edan luces destellantes, \u201cluz mala\u201d, sin poder identificar su causa y origen. Todo este misterio hizo que los antiguos pobladores la denominaran \u201cCaverna de las Brujas\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuentan los pobladores de la zona de Bardas Blancas que una de las tribus que dominaban la regi\u00f3n ten\u00edan cautivas a 2 mujeres blancas , a las cuales para que no huyeran de las tolder\u00edas les hab\u00edan lastimado\u00a0\u00a0las plantas de los pies. En cierta oportunidad las mujeres escaparon de su prisi\u00f3n y se refugiaron en la caverna, en la Sala de la Virgen.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb width=\u00bb100%\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb|0px||0px||\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]<\/p>\n

En consecuencia, los lugare\u00f1os comenzaron a ver 2 mujeres de aspecto andrajoso, pelos largos y sucias, salir de\u00a0 la caverna a la puesta del sol y luego regresaban m\u00e1s tarde. Se o\u00edan quejas y gritos de dolor que acompa\u00f1ados de luces y sombras inexplicables causaban terror sobre los pobladores. As\u00ed comenzaron a llamarle\u00a0 a la caverna, De las Brujas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuando las cautivas sanan sus heridas buscan refugio en un lugar m\u00e1s seguro y desaparecen de la primera sala de la caverna. Se cree que\u00a0 en la caverna se refugiaban grandes lechuzos que al salir volando por la puerta de ingreso hac\u00edan suponer que las mujeres brujas finalmente se hab\u00edan transformado en aves.<\/span><\/p>\n

La Caverna presenta hermosas decoraciones con diferentes elementos, denominados\u00a0<\/span>espeleotemas<\/strong>. Su composici\u00f3n principal es la calcita – mineral de carbonato de calcio-; tambi\u00e9n hay formaciones de yeso -mineral compuesto por sulfato de calcio- y elementos con \u00f3palo -mineral de s\u00edlice-.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Los secretos de la flora y fauna de la caverna permanecen en el misterio hasta tanto se efect\u00faen relevamientos por cient\u00edficos de las ciencias naturales y espele\u00f3logos.\u00a0\u00a0Se sabe que existen murci\u00e9lagos, ara\u00f1as, col\u00e9mbolos (peque\u00f1os insectos primitivos que viven en la materia org\u00e1nica del suelo) y ratones de campo que utilizan sus galer\u00edas como refugio.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo se form\u00f3 la caverna?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

La formaci\u00f3n de la Caverna ha sido explicada como producto de la circulaci\u00f3n de corrientes de aguas subterr\u00e1neas. Durante el levantamiento de la cordillera durante el per\u00edodo Terciario, toda la regi\u00f3n se vio modificada, quedando la roca caliza en posici\u00f3n casi vertical y sumamente fisurada.<\/p>\n

A finales del \u00faltimo per\u00edodo glacial, se habr\u00eda producido una gran infiltraci\u00f3n de agua favorecida por la alta cantidad de nieve y hielo existente (mucho mayor que la que precipita actualmente), favoreciendo la ampliaci\u00f3n de los pasadizos y la formaci\u00f3n de\u00a0\u00a0los espeleotemas.<\/p>\n

Los estudios arqueol\u00f3gicos realizados hasta el momento indicar\u00edan que la caverna habr\u00eda sido utilizada por los abor\u00edgenes, para diferentes rituales o refugio temporario.<\/p>\n

Caverna de Brujas, es un particular ambiente subterr\u00e1neo, donde una vez m\u00e1s la diversidad del planeta supera nuestra capacidad de asombro. Antiguas rocas de origen marino albergan una enorme cavidad, tapizada con extra\u00f1as formas minerales: estalactitas, estalagmitas, columnas, coladas, se encuentran conformando un extra\u00f1o escenario, m\u00e1s de 3000 metros de galer\u00edas se han desarrollado a trav\u00e9s de niveles de rocas calc\u00e1reas (calizas) del per\u00edodo\u00a0Jur\u00e1sico.<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Suelen encontrarse sectores o niveles con abundantes ammonites, moluscos que dominaron los ambientes marinos durante el Jur\u00e1sico y Cret\u00e1cico.<\/span><\/p>\n

La Caverna constituye una de las principales ofertas tur\u00edsticas del sur mendocino y recibe anualmente a m\u00e1s\u00a0\u00a0de 10.000 visitantes.\u00a0Es posible practicar en ella un\u00a0turismo de tipo aventura suave.<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
