The shelter was inaugurated on September 18, 1964, on the occasion of the 1964-1965 Antarctic campaign. It is one of the 18 shelters that are under the responsibility of the Esperanza, which is responsible for the maintenance and the care.

The refuge, currently inactive, bears the name of Juan Bautista Cabral, who died in the Battle of San Lorenzo, while he was aiding then Colonel Don José de San Martín, whose horse had fallen to enemy fire.
