Ita Letra
It was long claimed that these mysterious rock carvings were made by prehistoric Vikings.
About
Dating back to 5,000 BC, the strange petroglyphs at Ita Letra have captivated archaeologists, historians, and explorers from around the world. Many were attracted by a theory that the rune-like symbols had been carved by Vikings thousands of years ago, and that these Nordic travellers spawned the indigenous Guayakí people. While these theories have since been discredited, the indecipherable glyphs, star maps, and fertility symbols preserve the memory of the mysterious prehistoric culture that inhabited these caves thousands of years ago.
