If your purchase includes tickets for both national visitors and foreigners, you must make the selection in separate processes, but adding them to the same shopping cart before paying. This place in Chile is known for its large cave and the fossil remains of the mylodon, a prehistoric mammal. The Milodon Cave is a large natural accident. Its scientific importance lies in the fact that from 1896 pieces of skin and other remains of an extinct animal called Darwin's mylodon (Mylodon darwini) were found. The investigations determined that it lived at least 5000 years ago and confirmed the existence of other animals in the sector such as the dwarf horse, the saber-toothed tiger and the great guanaco. The cave also has archaeological value, since it was inhabited by the primitive Patagonian human approximately 12,000 years ago. In addition, it offers trails that explore the cave and its surroundings, ideal for ecotourism and archaeology. It is a key site for natural history and education.
