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.
