Province of Castilla
Toro Muerto Petroglyphs
Leaving the Colca Valley and passing through the Sihuas pampas is one way to get there. To arrive there directly from Arequipa, take the road to Lima and turn off at Corire (District of Uraca) and drive for 6km / miles.
The site consists of a group of carvings spread out over 5km2 / miles2. The majority of them are representation of human beings, animal and plants as well as geometric designs that seem to have been carved with sharpened stones. The techniques used varied from striking, scratching, chipping, to hammering, and their age could begin around 1100 A.D..
Andagua, Valley of the Volcanoes
The valley of the volcanoes was the center of strenuous convulsions in the volcanic mountain chain 200.000 years ago. We can still see today an extensive layer of lava over which around eighty-six smaller inactive volcanoes have emerged. It reaches an altitude of 3546 masl / 11.634 fasl.
