We went by rental car from arequipa (2,5hours drive). The road to the site is amazing, you descent in a canyon with amazing views with fewer traffic. If you go by your own, it's difficult to find the start due to very few signs. Take the dirt road from the highway, left, just before a touristic sign and continue trough the fields to the town. Google maps will guide you to a dead end. Take the street left just before the dead end and continue up the hill. The sign to the site has almost no letters left so we missed it. But there is a large blue sign about something else... take a right before the sign and follow the dirt road. The red pin on google maps is the exact spot, so try to find it when zooming in, it's a small wooden structure. We had a toyota yaris so the road is ok if you take it slow. No people or information at the site.. behind the structure you'll see the boulders. From there you can go on a treasure hunt while it looks like you're on a different planet (fun for kids?). Some rocks have old carvings.. some very clear, some almost gone. Too bad the rocks begin to fall apart or people have damaged them. It feels like it will all be gone in a few years. It's a long drive, but more than worth it!

I hired a vehicle to pass by here from Arequipa to Colca Canyon. The scenic views of Corire itself are quite fascinating. Once I arrived at Toro Muerto, it was deserted. It was just me and the driver on that day. After a few minutes on site, the caretaker arrived on his motorbike and asked for the entrance fee of 5 soles. I gave him 10 soles since I did not have any change on me. He said he'll return my change but when he rode off on his bike, I did not see him again. Hmppfff. Regardless of the caretaker incident, I did enjoy my solitary escapade in the petroglyphs field. The caretaker gave me a barely comprehensible map of the location of the more interesting rock carvings but it was quite useless. So I pretended to be Indiana Jones and looked for the petroglyphs myself in the vast, peaceful fields. The landscapes are quite breath-taking as well so make sure to take lots of photos :)
