Imilchilarea Imilchilarea with its two beautiful lakes and high plateaus surrounded by moonscape-like mountains, has not yet been discovered by tourism. Therefore, it is the nature, the energy is still pure and untouched, something you no longer find in Europe. The people (mostly semi-nomads) life very easy and friendly and welcoming. It seems as if time has stood still. Everything (harvesting, threshing the grain, feed for the animals and / or gather firewood, build houses etc. etc.) is still done by hand. In August and September you will see a huge activity around the harvest. Donkeys packed with corn and other crops.
