Introduction
Dear friends, the I.E.S. “Chongoyape” puts in your
hands some information collected from very reliable
sources to promote the tourist potential of our district.
Our main tourist resource are the Petroglyphs in Cerro
Mulato, as a way of expression of the old people who
reached “Cerro Mulato” and just as if they were
playing or resting, they began to engrave some basic
features of their life on the stones that were scattered
along this area of the valley of Chancay.
Those men combined their respect for nature and for the
thousands of years of experience, used the natural
resources according to the extent of their spiritual and
material needs.
They also reflect with conviction their spiritual world,
their ideas, beliefs, and individual and collective
experiences; all this according to the natural
environment.
We invite you to visit Chongoyape and enjoy the beauty
of this place.
We wait you!!
I.E.S. “Chongoyape”
Field trip done by students of 2nd
grade.
Anthropomorphic Figures
They may represent the priest and shamans who
played an important role in the worship ceremonies
something that still prevails in this place.
In other cases, the men are holding objects in their
hands; they may refer to farmers working in the
lands of the Valley of Chancay. They are raising
their hands probably to ask the Apus to bring rain
for their crops.
Astrology
The symbols drawn include half-moons, spirals,
suns, triangles and crosses, often associated with
lines of cupules. These scenes may represent the
practice of astrology by these men according to the
position of them.
Animal Representations
They engraved scenes that represent snakes and fish
(as a way to attract water to this arid and hot
place), foxes, pumas, birds, deers, etc. that live in
this area.
