Activities and Excursions

Excursion to the Cave of the Hands:
We drive 18 km of roads inside the ranch from the inn to this UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. Along the way, we will see guanacos and lesser rheas and, with luck, some foxes and native birds. Once we reach the Pinturas River Canyon, we walk 2,000 metres, with climbs and descents, to get to the caves. In them we will find a wide variety of rock paintings which include negative and positive handprints, animals and symbols, of which the oldest were made 10,000 years ago.

Overlanding to the Charcamata site:
We drive 30 km through mountains and canyons, fording the Pinturas River from time to time, in order to get to this totally natural open cave 85 meters wide, 27 meters high and 40 meters deep. On its inner wall are various paintings that are as old as those in the Pinturas River Canyon.

Excursion to the condor caves:
We drive 15 km from the inn to the Las Buitreras outpost, the departure point for this excursion. From here, we continue on horseback for 2 hours, crossing the Pinturas River and entering the extensive, colorful Estancia Valley. A few meters from there, in a canyon with walls 150 metres high, we will see condors flying from the overhangs that provide them shelter.

Los Toldos Inn

The Cueva de las Manos Inn is located 7 km off National Route 40 on the Los Toldos ranch, whose owners have installed it with the comfort of visitors in mind.

In the canyon of the Pinturas River that flows through the ranch are priceless, suggestive rock paintings that date back 10,000 years.

The paintings of the Cave of the Hands site are the best-known worldwide. Those on other rock overhangs, such as the Charcamata site, complete the unique collection.
