No less than 420 geoglyphs decorate the hills like giant pre-Columbian doodles at Pintados, 45km south of Pozo Almonte. Geometrical designs include intriguing ladders, circles and arrows, and depictions of humans include vivid scenes of hunting in canoes and women giving birth. Animal and alienlike figures also roam the hillsides, which have a 2km trail skirting their base; walk or drive it to scan the figures.
