Chiribiquete's rock shelters, Archaeological site in Sierra de Chiribiquete, Colombia.
The rock shelters contain over 75,000 prehistoric paintings spread across multiple limestone formations, depicting animals, human figures, and geometric patterns.
Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of human presence dating back 19,510 years through the discovery of ancient hearths and stone tools.
The rock art displays an extensive collection of jaguar representations, which held spiritual significance for indigenous populations throughout the Amazon region.
The site remains closed to general public access, requiring special permits from Colombian authorities for research and documentation purposes.
Scientists have documented over 250,000 individual drawings across 36 rock shelters, making it the largest concentration of rock art in the Amazon.
