Pusharo

The Petroglyphs of Pusharo are an extensive ancient rock art site deep within Peru's Manu National Park, along the Palotoa River. The carvings cover a perpendicular rock face over 30 meters long, reaching heights of 2.7 meters, and are estimated to be 1,000-2,000 years old. The deeply incised images depict geometric patterns, animal motifs including jaguars and serpents, and human figures, possibly linked to the Machiguenga or other Amazonian groups. Recognized as archaeological heritage by Peru's National Institute of Culture in 2003.
