Lonely Planet review

In the 1890s, German pioneer Hermann Eberhard discovered the partial remains of an enormous prehistoric ground sloth in this cave. The herbivorous milodón stood nearly 4m (13ft) tall but were hunted to extinction. It's worth a stop to appreciate the voluminous cave itself, to take an easy walk up to a lookout point, or to just see the lair of the animal that was supposedly the motivating factor behind Bruce Chatwin's In Patagonia .
