HistoricCulture & Heritage

History & background

The Aripe rock engravings are part of the wider body of indigenous rock art documented across Tenerife. Such engravings provide evidence of symbolic activity that cannot be reconstructed from settlement remains alone.

Because rock engravings are vulnerable to erosion and deliberate damage, their archaeological context is as important as the individual marks themselves.
