During our long Independence week celebration, i went with my familia chilena to visit the Valle del Encanto. It is a small region near the city of Ovalle about an hour north of la serena. The valley is full of petroglyphs and markings left by the El Molle people, who were one of the earliest groups in chile. The petroglyphs were really incredible, especially one called "The Martian," which maybe its just me but seems pretty dead on, with antenna and a spaceship flying above its right shoulder. Creepy, i know. There were also bizarre smooth holes cut into the ground that were used for sharpening or storage which stood out starkly in the landscape.
