'''''Cueva de los Manos''''' ([[Spanish language|Spanish]] for '''Cave of the Hands''') is a [[cave]] located in the [[provinces of Argentina|province]] of [[Santa Cruz Province, Argentina|Santa Cruz]], [[Argentina]], 163 km (101 [[mile|mi]])south from the town of [[Perito Moreno, Santa Cruz|Perito Moreno]], within the borders of the [[Francisco P. Moreno National Park]], which includes many sites of [[archaeology|archaeological]] and [[paleontology|paleontogical]] importance.
The Cave lies in the valley of the [[Pinturas River]], in an isolated spot in the [[Patagonia|Patagonian]] landscape, some

The main cave measures 24 m (79 ft) in depth, with an entrance 15 m (49 m) wide, and it is initially 10 m (33 ft) high. The ground inside the cave has an upward slope; inside the cave the height is reduced to no more than 2 m (7 ft).
The images of hands are often negative ([[stencil]]led). Besides these there are also depictions of human beings, [[Guanaco (animal)|guanacos]], [[rhea (bird)|rhea]]s, [[feline]]s and other animals, as well as geometric shapes, zigzag patterns, representations of the sun, and hunting scenes. Similar paintings, though in smaller numbers, can be found in nearby caves. There are also red dots on the ceilings, probably made by submerging their hunting [[boleadoras]] in ink, and then throwing them up. The colours of the paintings vary from red (made from [[hematite]]) to white, black or yellow.
