A cave ruin located on the southernmost coast of Peru. On the rock walls of a small cave about 10m deep, murals depicting hunters with weapons and camelids can be seen, using six colors of pigment including red, black, white and yellow. Known as a representative example of South American cave painting, its technique and magical nature mean it is often compared to European Paleolithic cave paintings. The stone tools discovered in the cave belong to the early stone tool tradition of the ancient Andes, and are estimated to date to around 7500 BC.

ペルー最南部海岸地方にある洞窟遺跡。奥行き10mほどの小洞窟内の岩壁に,赤,黒,白,黄など6色の顔料を用いて武器を持つ狩人やラクダ科動物を描いた壁画が見られる。南アメリカの洞窟絵画の代表例として知られ,その技法や呪術的性格などから,しばしばヨーロッパ旧石器時代洞窟絵画と比較して論じられる。洞窟内で発見された石器は古代アンデス初期石器伝統に属し,年代は前7500年ころと推定されている。【加藤 泰建】
