A fascinating, mystical site in the high desert, Toro Muerto, meaning Dead Bull, is named for the herds of livestock that commonly died here from dehydration as they were escorted from the mountains to the coast. A barren hillside is scattered with white volcanic boulders carved with stylized people, animals and birds. Archaeologists have documented more than 5000 such petroglyphs spread over several square kilometers of desert. These petroglyphs can be found three hours from Arequipa above the village of Corrie in Peru.
