Cueva de las Manos

Cueva de las Manos offers a direct portal to prehistoric Patagonia, with over 9,000-year-old hand stencils adorning canyon walls. This UNESCO site preserves more than 800 distinct handprints, some dating back 10,000 years—making it older than the Ibera Wetlands' geological formation by several millennia. The vivid iron oxide pigments remain strikingly clear, rivaling the oldest known cave art worldwide.
