Location:

181st Construction Battalion; on leaving Neuquén by Route 22, an unmade road approximately 300 metres long branches off on the left, four kilometres before the airport.

Description:

Two buildings approximately 10 metres apart. The prisoners lived in an old building with whitewashed walls, concrete floor and a corrugated iron roof. Each room was divided into small compartments. Between the walls and metal roof there was a gap through which air circulated. A hole in the roof for an observation turret, now boarded up. There was a bathroom with a small wash-basin, latrine and shower, Brown entrance door with spyhole. The other building, which has since been demolished, was a large metal shed, with a barrel-shaped roof, sliding rust-coloured door and tiled floor. There was a path to the Battalion headquarters. The main entrance was through a gate controlled by Guardpost 5.
