How to get there
History
A karst cavity in Loma La Cuchilla, carved out by water eroding limestone over millennia. The name nods to the big cats that once roamed the area. It served as a temporary shelter and ceremonial site for pre-Columbian communities, and later as a hideout during local conflicts. Today, it's a key spot for caving and hiking in Estebanía.
