Even if such stones are rare, and it might be interesting to have a look at it... the trail is poorly indicated, and I even walked by without noticing the "drawings"... somehow overrated, but if you're in the area, another small nice walk

There's a kid there (not sure if there are more than one) and his self-appointed job is to translate the pictographs for you. In Spanish. Our Spanish is next to non-existent but we still loved this little dude! He tells you about the mountains and waterfalls and a bunch of other stuff we didn't follow but he is so entertaining... More

It was nice to see, but not spectacular. You can ask some children to explain the drawings, but we didn't.

Its a pity that they defaced a national treasure.. in an attempt to make them more visable, they painted over the petroglyphs.. on the other hand, we went near sun down and seeing the fire flies almost made up for it..

Forget the guide, apparently the kids make up stuff and have painted/used chalk on the lines of the heiroglyphs anyways. Get someone to translate this: http://www.elvalle.com.pa/atracciones/la-piedra-pintada/

If you are in El Valle, you certainly have to go visit the Piedra Pintada prehistorical site. It is a short drive by car to the entry of the site. The way up is well maintained and easy accessible. You follow a wild water river and after going over a small bridge you will see a rock with carvings on... More

It needs some signage and explanation but is a nice walk up to a small waterfall.

If you're into this its very interesting and it is the beginning of the hike to the Sleeping Indian which is a very good hike.

it is nice, but it won´t be bad if they put some signs exlaining background, age, history about this attraction
