Peru Delimits 2,000-Year-Old Petroglyph Zone in Southern Region

Peru has formally delimited a 5,005.77-hectare zone containing 2,000-year-old petroglyphs in the southern districts of Uraca and Aplao, establishing a perimeter of 33,898 meters. The regulation also notes a 2023 finding that no indigenous or original peoples are present in the area, which may affect heritage management and land-use claims. The move formalizes protection of the archaeological site but raises questions about the exclusion of indigenous presence.
