Piedras del Tunjo Archaeological Park, Archaeological site in Facatativá, Colombia
The 27-hectare park contains more than 100 rock formations with petroglyphs depicting animals, humans, and geometric patterns across its natural landscape.
The archaeological park, established in 1946, preserves ancient rock art created by indigenous Muisca people before Spanish colonization of the region.
The rock paintings represent the spiritual practices and artistic expressions of pre-Columbian societies through red mineral pigments applied directly on sandstone surfaces.
Located 40 kilometers from Bogotá at 2,600 meters above sea level, the park offers guided tours through marked paths to observe rock art panels.
Natural rock shelters within an urban setting contain pictographs dating back approximately 12,000 years, making it among the oldest archaeological sites in Colombia.
