This rock face shows cave art in a range of styles, techniques, and themes.

Handprints and images of wildlife mingle on this rock face, including what might be depictions of pregnant guanacos (left).

Experts believe this rock face depicts hunters chasing guanaco.

For the people who created this cave art, guanacos were an important source of food, pelts, and other materials. These images depict a guanaco hunt.

This group of handprints (right) includes two rare right hands, and the images on the left were made by dipping the feet of an ostrich-like bird called a rhea into pigment, then pressing the foot against the rock wall.

The ancient cave art also includes geometric shapes, humans, and anthropomorphic figures.
