Hiking

Elogio del Horizonte is conceived from a small-format model, which has been "growing" until it reaches 10 meters in height and a weight of 500 tons. It is made of reinforced concrete, on the site itself, the Cerro de Santa Catalina, from two pillars that act as supports for an open ellipse.
