Gruta del Indio

Argentina

Gruta del Indio is a rock shelter located in Rincón del Atuel, Southern Mendoza, Argentina. The site is located 28 km south of the town of San Rafael at around 660m above sea level. Significant excavations suggest the coexistence of humans and mega-fauna, possibly contributing to existing theories of humans acting as major predators were large contributors to the extinction of such creatures. The site remains one of the few in South America where evidence of large mega-fauna and human habitation exists together.
