Cave of Hands

Apr 12, 2006 20:00

Three days we waited to see this damn cave located just a few hours from the small town of Perito Moreno. The first day, the 10th, we found out it's impossible to rent a car in town and the only tour going out is full. We did book a tour for the next day, the 11th. But when nobody showed up to pick us up in the morning, the boys went to the tour office and found out that due to too much rain the roads became too bad even for 4x4 and the guide decided to cancel the trip and just didn't tell anyone. And if that wasn't bad enough, it was Shurik's Birthday and he was really looking forward to seeing these ancient drawings on the cave's walls. Also, all this waiting was too much of a time waist for Alon, especially in a town with not more then one internet café that was very slow and kept disconnecting, so he left for Bariloche. For us it was just as well, because from here we were planning different routes anyway.

On the third day we finally got to the cave and witnessed first hand this nine thousand year old drawings which are recognized by UNESCO as World Cultural Heritage.
