Description: CHECTA, PERU - Near the quaint village of Santa Rosa de Quives two hours northeast of Lima, Peru lie the phenomenal archaeological site of Checta. A Quechua word meaning "one of many," Checta is home to hundreds of pre-Incan carved petroglyphs. This ancient 5,000 years old site once encompassed a large lake and temple complex buried for eons under a landslide high above the valley. In one dreadful moment back in 1925, hundreds of ancient carved stones were revealed when a deadly avalanche stormed down the valley killing 14,000 people. The day we arrived, we were introduced to Doña Consuelo Livia, an 88-year-old great grandmother known as the "Protectress of Checta." She has devoted the past 60 years of her life to the preservation of the site. Consuelo happily greeted us, eager to share her stories.
