Site or property where the historic Argentine prison of Puerto Cook was located. As one reads in Wikipedia, "Of what was once the penal colony of Puerto Cook, today only a few stone ruins and a small cemetery remain where the remains of guards and prisoners rest." This cemetery still has crosses in sight, and is located in the southern part of the site. The prison functioned at the beginning of the 20th century, before being replaced by the Usuahia prison.
