Rodero

The community of Rodero with its petroglyphs, antigales and cultivation platforms, is a faithful witness to the passage of pre-Inca and Inca communities over time. Today it is divided into the places of Pueblo de la Candelaria, Juiri, Ronque and Queragua. It limits to the east with the mountains of Aparzo, the limit point with the town of Chorcán; to the west, the Rio Grande acts as a limit point and in turn borders the towns of Chorrillos and Hornaditas; to the south, a cairn (mound of stones) and Cerro Negro, serves as the border with the Chicote’-Coctaca farm.
