In this area you will find the Santimamiñe cave and very close to the painted Forest of Oma. In the cave there are paintings from the Magdalenian period of the Upper Paleolithic (13,000 BC). The paintings are of animals such as bison, horses, deer, goats, and brown bears. There is a 3D virtual tour available at the Visitor Center.

Oma Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Forest of Oma is one of the best-known works of the Basque artist Agustín Ibarrola and is an expression of the artistic movement known as Art and Nature, which emerged in the late sixties of the 20th century and whose purpose is to convey artistic work to the natural environment, using the landscape as a framework, support and raw material for the artist.
The work, located in the town of Kortezubi (Bizkaia), is made up of several sets of geometric motifs and figures painted on the trunk of radiata pine trees. The use of natural living supports, the play of two-three-dimensionality and the experience of placing the visitor at the center of the work of art through his discovery, as well as the diversity of responses it proposes, make this work a reference of the Art and Nature movement and of Basque Art in particular.
