Las Labradas

²Ñ²¹³ú²¹³Ù±ôá²Ô


More than 600 petroglyphs, some believed to be more than 5000 years old, are depicted on volcanic rocks along a sublime stretch of coast, some 60km north of ²Ñ²¹³ú²¹³Ù±ôá²Ô. Many carvings were made between 750 and 1250 CE and are tied to summer solstice, as evidenced by the solar and geometric engravings. From ²Ñ²¹³ú²¹³Ù±ôá²Ô take Hwy 15 to Hwy 15D and exit just past Km 51, then head coastward about 5.5km along a dirt road. Alternatively, take an Onca tour.

At the site you'll also see intriguing human and animal figures, such as a manta-ray-shaped rock. Pack a swimsuit and lunch to enjoy some quality beach time.
