Belmaco Archeological Park, Archaeological park in Villa de Mazo, La Palma, Spain
The archaeological site features ten natural caves and rock engravings spread across a terrain situated 700 meters above sea level on La Palma island.
The site holds the first rock engravings discovered in the Canary Islands during the 18th century, created by the indigenous Benahoare people in the first millennium.
The rock art within the caves contains petroglyphs depicting symbols and figures that demonstrate the religious practices of ancient Canarian inhabitants.
An interpretation center provides detailed information about the site, while marked paths guide visitors through the archaeological zones with explanatory panels.
The park maintains a collection of petroglyphs at different elevations, offering scientific evidence about pre-Hispanic settlements in the Canary Islands.
