Hands Cave Rock Art
Patagonia Argentina
The remains of the history of the region are accessible to all. They
are found in Argentina's Santa Cruz province and are indigenous cave
paintings, dating between 12 000 and 9000 years. Some of them are in the
Estancia La María, in east central Santa Cruz, and others in the Cave
of the Hands, located in the canyon of the River Paintings, northwest of
the province.
The Estancia La María houses the largest
collection of Patagonian cave painting. The images, which are
distributed in eighty caves were made 12,600 years ago by the first
inhabitants of the region. The technique used in most cases is negative
hand.
