Yacimiento rupestre de Sáchica, Pre-Columbian rock art site in Sáchica, Colombia.

Yacimiento rupestre de Sáchica is an archaeological site with several groups of red and black paintings spread across about 40 meters of rock formation beside the Sáchica River. The paintings show naturalistically rendered human faces, circular symbols, and other shapes applied to the surface using mineral pigments.

The site was examined in 1961 by anthropologist Eliécer Silva Célis from ICANH, who identified naturalistic representations, human faces, and circular symbols on the rocks. This early study was crucial in documenting and recognizing these pre-Columbian artworks in the region.

The paintings are attributed to no known author, and their meaning and age remain undetermined; the site coincides with Arawak and Chibcha settlements documented after the 4th century AD. Visitors see 14 defined groups of figures, mostly red with some black, including faces, humanoids, a sun image and plants.

The rock art site lies near the Sáchica River and requires careful walking to avoid damaging the delicate painted surfaces. Visitors should bring good lighting to see the red and black motifs clearly from different angles.

The authors, meaning and age of the paintings are unknown; the site coincides with Arawak and Chibcha settlements documented after the 4th century AD. In 1961 anthropologist Eliécer Silva Célis, then at ICANH, interpreted the paintings, and 14 groups have been described along the rock.
