This site museum contains geometric glyphs that are virtually unique in the country. There is only one other similar site in the Vinchina River in the province of La Rioja. These glyphs are geometric drawings made with stones on the ground. The different-colored stones form figures that can only be seen from a great height. It is a low mountain ceremonial site comprising four well-defined polychrome geometric figures and a retaining wall. They were discovered by Engineer Prieto in mid- 1991 and are presumed to have belonged to the Incaic culture.
