There we will see 5 000 huge stony blocks, like an open book muted by the passage of time, finding figures carved in stone that represent plants, animals, anthropomorphic beings and geometric shapes in an area of approximately 5 km. the ancient carvers used various objects to give the Impression stones, with various techniques such as beaten, the streak, and percussion.
Those rocks were made 800 years ago.

We'll have two hours to visit. There is a Jurassic Park with artificial models of the extinct animals; from there we have a extraordinary view of the valley in the middle of the desert.
