Cerro Pintados
Cerro Pintados submitted by SolarMegalith : Site in Chile: Cerro Pintados - geoglyphs. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Hill Figures in Tamapaco State, Chile.
One of the largest groups of geoglyphs in South America. According to some sources there are approximately 300 geoglyphs here ! They were made before 1000 year CE. The site is located on the area of Papma del Tamarugal reserve.

This area has a fantastic ambience - simillar to Toro Muerto one, the whole area looks like a surface of the moon ...

The Googlemaps link above will take you to some photographs of the geoglyphs. Navigate to see geometric figures, animals, and human figures.
