The landscape area Rupestre de Chamangá was entered into the National System of Protected Areas (SNAP) in early 2010 under the Protected Landscape category. The category reflects both the value of the pictographs and that of its surroundings, given that it is a landscape of unique cultural and natural significance.
The site has already had a departmental declaration of interest for its study, research and preservation since September 1998.
The entry of the area into the SNAP has allowed for regulations to be established regarding economic activities and uses of the land that may affect the landscape, its cultural values and traditional ways of life.
