Three kilometres south of Posadas, the low, rounded wedge of Cerro de los Indios lies beneath the higher scarp of the valley. Bruce Chatwin’s description of this rock in 'In Patagonia' is unerring: “…a lump of basalt, flecked red and green, smooth as patinated bronze and fracturing in linear slabs. The Indians had chosen the place with an unfaltering eye for the sacred.” Indigenous rock-paintings, some almost 10,000 years old, mark the foot of the cliff. Morst impressive are the wonderful concentric circles of a hypnotic labyrinth design. The red blotches high up on the overhangs appear to have been the result of guanaco hunters firing up arrows tipped in pigment-stained fabric, perhaps in an ancient version of darts. However, the site’s most remarkable feature is the polished shine on the rocks, which really do possess the patina and texture of antique bronze.

we europeans robbed their land and systematically murdered millions of native indians in north- and south america. when I see all those statues of so called heros, conquistators, colonizers, discoverers, "first settlers", seen in every city, in every village, read in many street names, I get sick and sicker, because no one seems to realize, how many of them are simply murderers and criminals....... and this is, what has not changed, these politics of an inhuman arrogant profit oriented system of a small minority ruling the world...... who cares about the people of Iraq, oil is what counts, who cares about the people of Afghanistan, oil and mineral resources are what count, who cares about the people of Vietnam, of Cuba, power and control count, who cared about the people of Chile, when the CIA-felons and Pinochet murdered Allende and 10000s of innocent Chileans, power and influence count, who cared about the people of Panama, when they murdered general Omar Torrijos, who cared about the people of Ecuador, when they murdered president Jaime Roldós Aguilera..........
