Pleiades
This UNESCO World Heritage site is dispersed, in the sense that eight separate areas - now incorporated as archaeological parks - have preserved instances of incised rock art. All of these areas are distributed along the valley, beginning with the Lake Moro Intermunicipal Park and ending at the pathway at Sonico, the highest area in terms of elevation.
