CHECTA - PERU
Maarten van Hoek Updated September 2006
| RESPONSIBLE VISTOR BEHAVIOUR AT ROCK ART SITES
* Never touch or wet rock art - it is highly damaging, especially to rock paintings * NEVER chalk or enhance petroglyphs * Do not walk on engraved rock * Leave all archaeological artefacts as they are * Only take photographs, only leave your footsteps CHECTA BECOMES INCREASINGLY VANDALISED BECAUSE THE SITE IS CLEARLY SIGNPOSTED AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE FROM THE ROAD. EVEN A PARKING PLACE HAS BEEN MADE TO FACILITATE ACCESS. BUT HIGH UP AT THE SITE THERE IS NO SUPERVISION |
Checta probably has petroglyphs mainly dating from the Chavin Period including local elements of the archaic culture of Canta. Consult the time chart.
