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.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Otisaka 829 ruku prekriva zidove pećine, pri čemu je 9 od 10 levi. Umetnost na stenama proteže se skoro 10.000 godina, a najstariji slojevi datiraju oko 9.000 godine pre nove ere.
Istaknuto: Skoro 800 od 829 otisaka ruku su leve ruke, što sugeriše da su umetnici držali cevčicu od kosti ili šuplje trske u desnoj ruci dok su ustima prskali pigment. Crveni pigment koji je još uvek vidljiv posle 10.000 godina potiče od hematita pomešanog sa gvanako mašću, a umetnici su duvali boju kroz cev umesto da su je direktno slikali.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
