A grain of sand is very little, but so much everything... what remains one day or another of a rock, a shell, a fossilized algae, a volcanic lava. ..

Collected with curiosity and patience, the materials are washed, sorted, sifted, separated, then all these multicolored grains, sometimes reduced once again with a pestle, so natural and varied, are then presented in a collection in an astonishing palette of shades...

The mineral properties of certain sands are surprising...limestones, oxides, magnetites...

These little jewels of nature, already wonderfully beautiful in their own right, are there to finally constitute... works of art, which you will keep all your life...

Located in a sort of natural amphitheater formed by a cliff of ancient volcanic lava flows of basaltic andesite, one can discover, over more than one hectare, a set of 22 rocks presenting more than 230 engravings, either isolated, or grouped into “panels”. Thus, the majority of rocks reveal isolated figures with a schematic design – simple faces or round heads on oval bodies. In two cases, faces were depicted with more complex decoration, earning them the nicknames "cacique" and "sorcerer" by their discoverers, although these names do not reflect the nature of the depiction. But the park is especially renowned for its rocks presenting more complex groups where several figures form elaborate compositions, with a staging whose meaning escapes us.
