Hello dear friends of Pinmapple, today I want to show you my visit to a very special place, it is the Inti Huasi Grotto. We visited it a while ago when we were traveling in north central Argentina. the grotto has a small museum and a dining room. My favorite part of the tour were the landscapes that we were able to appreciate to get there, a mixture of potatoes and mountains, because it is located on the edge of the San Luis mountain range.

Here I had my first and only fall on my bicycle during the entire trip, when we crossed a speed bump with a small stream fell and broke his bike, I also wanted to cross the speed bump to help him and since it was so slippery because of the water too I fell. Nothing serious, it was just a scare, but Mateusz's bicycle did break and we had to send it to be repaired in the next town.

In the images you can appreciate how beautiful the territory of San Luis is in the middle of summer. Cool, sunny and still green.

Both the mountains and the cave are of volcanic origin, from millions of years ago. And right here is one of the oldest prehistoric sites found in Argentina, you will find carved stones and bones, cave paintings, most of them are exhibited to the public to appreciate them. although due to the humidity of the area, the traces and paintings have almost disappeared.

Inti Huasi means in Quechua "house of the sun"

According to scientific evidence, it is believed that the first human settlement was established a little over 6,000 years ago, that pre-Hispanic humans used the cave to protect themselves from the sun in summer and from the rain in winter.

Among the archaeological finds are ceramics, arrowheads, pottery, remains of paint, bones and carved rocks.

8.jpg

More complex pieces such as pinwheels, mortars, bone hooks, stone knives and ornamental pieces have also been found.

It caught my attention to find a provincial school in the middle of nowhere.

In the background you can see the modest mountains of the Sierra de San Luis.

11.jpg

That night we had to camp in the middle of nowhere near the road and at night we could hear the cattle walking near the edges of the farms.

The next morning we continue on our way to CΓ³rdoba.

Thanks so much for reading. I send you a big hug from Argentina!

Hola queridos amigos de Pinmapple, hoy quiero mostrarles mi visita a un lugar muy especial, se trata de la Gruta de Inti Huasi. La visitamos hace un tiempo cuando andabamos viajando en el centro norte de Argentina. la gruta tiene un pequeΓ±o museo y un comedor. Mi parte favorita del recorrido fueron los paisajes que pudimos apreciar para llegar, mezcla de papa y montaΓ±a, porque se cuenta ubicado al borde de la serrania de San Luis.

2.jpg

AcΓ‘ tuve mi primera y unica caΓ­da en bicicleta durante todo el viaje, cuando cruzabamos un badΓ©n con un pequeΓ±o riachuelo se cayΓ³ y rompiΓ³ su bicicleta, yo quise cruzar tambien el badΓ©n para socorrerlo y como estaba tan resbaladizo por el agua tambien me caΓ­. Nada grave sΓ³lo fue un susto pero la bicicleta de Mateusz si se rompiΓ³ y tuvimos que mandarla a reparar en el siguiente poblado.

3.jpg

En las imΓ‘genes pueden apreciar lo lindo del territorio de San Luis en pleno verano. Fresco, soleado y todavΓ­a verde.

4.jpg

Tanto las montaΓ±as como la gruta son de origen volcanico, de hace millones de aΓ±os. Y justΓ³ aqui se encuentra uno de los yacimientos prehistoricos mas antiguos encontrados en Argentina, se encontraros piedras y huesos tallados, pinturas rupestres, la mayorΓ­a se encuentras exhibidos al pΓΊblico para poder apreciarlos. aunque por la humedad de la zona, las huellas y las pinturas ya casi han desaparecido.

5.jpg

Inti Huasi significa en el lenguaje quechua "casa del sol"

6.jpg

Se cree segΓΊn evidencia cientΓ­fica que el primer asentamiento humano se estableciΓ³ hace poco mas de 6000 aΓ±os, que los humanos prehispanicos utilizaban la gruta para protegerse del son en el verano y de la lluvia en el invierno.

7.jpg

Entre los hallazgos arqueolΓ³gicos se encuentran ceramicas, puntas de flecha, alfarerΓ­a, restos de pintura, huesos y rocas talladas.

8.jpg

Tambien se han encontrado piezas mas complejas como molinetes, morteros, ganchos de hueso, cuchillos de piedra y piezas ornamentales.

9.jpg

LlamΓ³ mi atenciΓ³n encontrar en el medio de la nada una escuela provincial.

10.jpg

De fondo pueden ver las modestas montaΓ±as de la sierra de San Luis.

11.jpg

Esa noche nos tocΓ³ acampar en el medio de la nada cerca de la ruta y por la noche podiamos escuchar el ganado caminando cerca de los bordes de las granjas.

12.jpg

A la maΓ±ana siguiente continuamos con nuestro camino hacia CΓ³rdoba.

Muchas gracias por leer. Les mando un fuerte abrazo desde Argentina!
