Checta lies in Lima, Peru, near Santa Rosa de Quives. It is a 5,000-year-old site once a habitat with a large lake, a temple complex, which got buried due to a massive land slide.

The Petrogylphs in Peru are the huge standing boulders with messages inscribed on them by the prehistoric people. They have complete abstract features and the locals explain it as a way of transmitting information of their ancestors. While some others ascertain it to be engraved as form of ceremonial purposes.

Some of these petrogylphs stand directly under the sun unprotected and distorted with the sand of time, while there are lot many specimen which are protected and preserved . Checta in Peru stands as a living instance of thousands of pre- Incan rock carvings.
