Travel Guide Monumento Natural Cueva Del Milodón

This site consists of three caves and a rocky set called "Devil's Chair". The largest of the caves is 30 m high, 150 m wide and 200 m long. The interest of the place lies in the discovery, in 1896, of remains of a prehistoric animal disappeared, the milodón. This huge herbivore, which disappeared about 10,000 years ago, caused a craze in the area and several European expeditions were launched in search of possible survivors of this species. A trail also leads to a lookout over Eberhard Fjord and the Ultima Esperanza estuary. The view is magnificent and most tourists do not go there.
