Macusani-Corani Rock Art

High in the Andean Altiplano, in the region of Puno, a large and fascinating site of rock-art tells the story of the people that live in this land for thousands of years. A National Cultural Heritage since 2005, the Macusani-Corani paintings and petroglyphs were made in different time periods, the oldest go back to the Pre-Ceramic, 8,000 to 2,000 BC, and depicts the hunting of camelids.

In the site's caves, paintings of later time periods superimpose others done before, such as the ones that depict anthropomorphic characters tying up camelids, done by the Kaluyo Culture from 2,000 to 500 BC. There are also paintings from the Colla era, from 1,000 to 1,400 AC. Later on time, the Incas made geometric panels in orange, white, black, mustard, and red colors.

This unusual continuity of artwork went through the colonial and republican eras as well, as drawings of bulls, animals introduced in America by the Spaniards, can be found in some areas.
