Pre-Columbian petroglyphs in Chile's Atacama desert close to the village of San Pedro de Atacama. This is an impressive rocky outcrop with many carvings, including depictions of alpaca and llama figures, other regional animals and humans. They are believed to have been carved by yaris, or shamans, of past civilizations.

Barton Flyer provides the ratings for access, condition, and ambiance. The rock art area is a 45 minute drive from the village.
"Our guide claimed they were up to 8,000 years old but I seriously doubt that - the rock is pretty soft and the desert winds fierce - there must be a lot of erosion."

[bat400 notes: Other nearby archaeological sites, inlcuding other petroglyphs and ancient villages are considered to be 3000 years old. Geoglyph fields in this part of Chile date to a much more recent 600-1200 AD.]
