Parc Archéologique des Roches Gravées
Parc des Roches Gravées
Around 230 Arawak rock carvings preserved in a tropical garden in Trois-Rivières, an important Indigenous heritage site in the Caribbean.
The Parc des Roches Gravées is in the town of Trois-Rivières. Volcanic boulders are carved with human faces and symbols from the Arawak (Saladoid) culture, dating from about AD 300 to 600. The park is also a tropical garden, growing cacao, cassava and other crops used by Indigenous peoples, with information boards throughout. A visit takes about an hour. Admission costs a few euros, and the park is closed on Mondays. It can be combined with the ferry terminal for the Îles des Saintes and Grande Anse black sand beach on the same day.
