The famous Toro Muerto petroglyphs are located 
not far from the town Corire in province Arequipa. The deserted valley is covered with tons of stones - on many of them you can find the petroglyphs.
The site was discovered to science in 1951, some sources claim that there are even 4000 rocks with petroglyphs here, but this number is certainly exaggerated. Still the pertoglyphs are really impressive - you can recognize various symbols here, mainly geometric ones and pictures of animals like lama or various birds. Most of the petroglyphs were carved in volcanic rock.
