Cueva de los patriotas, Historical cave in Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile.
The cave system extends along Cumberland Bay, featuring multiple chambers carved into the coastal cliffs of Robinson Crusoe Island during the 18th century.
In 1814, following the Battle of Rancagua, forty-two Chilean independence leaders were exiled to this cave system during the Spanish reconquest period.
The cave holds written records and markings left by notable Chilean patriots, including Manuel de Salas and Francisco de la Lastra during their confinement.
Access to the cave requires authorization from local authorities and guidance from certified tour operators familiar with the site's layout and safety protocols.
The cave chambers were initially excavated by prisoners sent from various locations across Spanish America, from Panama to Santiago, as part of a colonial prison system.
