This location has various impressive megalithic constructions build by the Caxamarca-Marañon Culture. Especially the 9 km long aqueduct, from Cumbemayo towards Cajamarca is considered a real jewel of hydraulic engineering. Besides that there are also petroglyphs, square niches and stone engravings in the walls, with an estimated age of more than 3.500 years!
At the entrance there is a stone forest, Los Frailones, capriciously sculpted by the wind.
