Cave Art In Patagonia

I was just reading about the amazing cave art find. Wow!

I do not know if it is near the place mentioned in that article, though there are new protected areas in Santa Cruz in Patagonia. Trails and only guided access to some of the caves with paintings. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article…gonia-argentina

I wonder how many Argentinians will be able to visit it if these are the prices... I have given up any domestic holiday because the prices are ridiculous. I have never been to Ushuaia, but at $300 a trekking on the glacier, I'd rather stay home and fly to Europe in July.

These prices seem designed by Eco-conscious towns to discourage tourism. If that’s the point, they may be very successful, although the businesses may not be.

I imagine those references for housing and tours is what NatGeo felt they needed to give to foreign tourist. That link was the quickest I found.

There is free (minimal) camping in the park which is what we would do, plus which is the most logical for me if a trip includes hiking trails. Other typical Argentina hotel, cabaña, etc... are available. Perhaps the NatGeo article was referring to other more remote painted caves that need a personal guide. The PDF brochure below shows the rules and trails to access.

Oh, I was referencing my own investigation about excursions in Patagonia. I was quoted over 300 USD per person to trek on the glacier. In the same brochures, there were also prices for other activities in other locations (El Calafate) which I did a few years ago, and they were outrageous. I don't think I was given the brochure for foreigners considering that right now there shouldn't be different prices for people with a DNI or without.
