PETROGLYPH
Image
Are you an art lover? Then say yes to a trip to Montserrat to view its newest
tourist attraction, the petroglyphs. The geometric designs carved into the side
of the mossy boulder in the dense forest of Montserrat’s Centre Hills depict
the raw talent of Montserrat’s indigenous people. Immerse yourself in truly
original art of historical and cultural significance, as the petroglyphs provide
you with a glimpse of Montserrat’s history, pre-dating Montserrat’s discovery
by Christopher Columbus in 1493. On your journey to see the petroglyphs,
stop and enjoy the flora and fauna of the Centre Hills; listen to the chirping of
the birds and see the Montserrat Oriole, Montserrat National Bird.
