Visit between October and April when summer brings mild temperatures and dry conditions. Arrive right at opening time at 9 AM to enjoy the cave in solitude before tour groups arrive.

Teave
Kiired faktid: Umbes 829 käejälge katavad koopaseinu ning 9 kümnest on vasakud käed. Kaljukunst ulatub peaaegu 10 000 aasta taha, kusjuures vanimad kihid pärinevad umbes aastast 9000 eKr.
Esiletõstmised: Ligi 800 käejäljest 829-st on vasakud käed, mis viitab sellele, et kunstnikud hoidsid paremas käes luust või õõnsast roost tehtud puhkepilli, pihustades pigmenti suuga. Punane pigment, mis on endiselt nähtav ka pärast 10 000 aastat, pärines hematiidist, mis oli segatud guanako rasvaga, ja kunstnikud puhusid värvi läbi toru, mitte maalisid seda otse.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Bring sturdy hiking shoes and a windbreaker: the Patagonian wind whips through the canyon year-round and the path involves uneven terrain.
- Request guide Carlos if available, he has spent 15 years studying the site and points out details most guides skip.
- The afternoon light between 2-4 PM creates the best contrast to photograph the hand stencils on the orange canyon walls.
- Skip the visitor center gift shop and instead walk the extra 200 meters past the main cave to see the less-visited hunting scene panels.
