Itinerary description
The Trail to the Cave of the Hands, the Rock Tower, and the Valley of the Moon
It’s easy to imagine that this sector was a favorite for early Patagonians, based on the rock art paintings you will pass and the immense presence of unique and colorful rock formations. In fact, one of the characteristics of this sector, in contrast to other remote valleys, is the availability of a great variety and quality of rocks for making the typical indigenous tools. It is quite possible that the original inhabitants took advantage of this splendid spot to stock up on quality raw materials that couldn’t be found in other places.
