Cerro Pintado is a mountain in South America. It has an elevation of 3,660 metres (12,008 ft) above sea level and sits on the international border between Colombia and Venezuela.
The name translates to English as "Painted Hills" due to the 350 geoglyphs inscribed on them between A.D. 500 and 1450.[2]
A hill by the same name in Amazonas State is host to some of the world's largest prehistoric petroglyphs, including depictions of gigantic snakes and Amazonian giant centipedes.[3]
