GENERAL INFORMATION

Markawasi, the most imposing of the Sacred Mountains on Earth, the one that shows a great beautiful decoration, is located at 80 kms. east of Lima, next to the village of San Pedro de Casta, in the base of the Andes. Strong and mighty people, beginners of a complete culture, made 85 centuries ago, a dam from the waters of the rains, to irrigate the land that surrounded them, during the six months of the dry season. Converted this plateau into a firm fortress and a religious center with four huge altars. Handed over his dead to the Condors and decorated the  3 square Kms. with hundreds of marvelous sculptures, that no one can deny. 

Dr. Daniel Ruzo, dedicated many years to study Markawasi, to prove that this place was not a separated plateau, submitted to an impossible erosion; but the most important of all the Sacred Mountains of the Earth: accrediting a cultural reality and its symbols.

The sculptures made on natural rock, to be seen from a point or a specific direction and with a special illumination conditions, prove a style in which could only be seen by people with a very deep believe in faith.
