The Cumpanamá stone with ancient petroglyphs is located in the Loreto Region - Rio Paranapura (Peru) inhabited by the Shawi people.
Over the millennia the Amazon cultures left powerful symbolic messages on sacred stones now studied as petroglyphs.
The Shawi touching the lines of the stone visually connects them with the veins of the hand, symbolising the relation between ancient heritage and living culture.
