The petroglyphs of Toro Muerto in the Majes Valley in the Arequipa region are among the largest and most significant sites of prehistoric fish and rock art in the world. They date mainly from the Wari period and the late Intermediate Period (c. 500 to 1440 AD). The site covers several square kilometres of barren desert landscape and is regarded as an important testament to the early ritual and cosmological expressions of Andean cultures. Peru – 1976
