el fuerte de samaipata


El Fuerte de Samaipata, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an archaeological treasure that encapsulates the cultural confluence of the Chané, Inca, and Spanish civilizations. Nestled in the eastern foothills of the Bolivian Andes, this site is renowned for its large sculptured rock, believed to have been carved by the Chané people as early as 300 CE. It later became an administrative, ceremonial, and residential area for the Incas before the Spanish conquest. Today, El Fuerte stands as a testament to the region's rich and diverse historical narrative.
