Pali-Aike Cave, Archaeological cave in San Gregorio, Chile.
The cave contains multiple chambers formed by ancient volcanic activity, located within the rugged terrain of Pali Aike National Park.
Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of human occupation dating back 11,000 years, including tools and remains of extinct native American horses.
The site holds numerous artifacts from indigenous Paleoindian hunter-gatherers who established temporary camps within these natural formations.
Visitors need to drive 190 kilometers from Punta Arenas through rural roads and pay an entrance fee of 5,500 pesos to access the park.
Research findings from this cave challenge traditional theories about early human migration patterns across the American continents.
