Rock Art in Uruguay

The area of Chamangá, located in the Province of Flores has the greatest concentration of pictographic sites in Uruguay.More than 40 rock paintings have been found. These artistic sites are found in open areas where granite blocks were used as support for the production of paintings. These round-shaped granite blocks are common in the centre and south part of the country, surrounded by a landscape of plains and hilly lands.

The pictographs are characterized by abstract representations with varied geometrical motives and are monochrome with nuances of red. They have been estimated to be more than two thousand years old.

Proposed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (currently tentative)
