Saywitte Complex
This 60-hectare archeological complex located at 2400 masl (7872 fasl) houses the Saywite Stone, or main monolith, of 2.5 meters in height (8 feet) featuring carvings that represent the geography and environment of the area. Inside the complex, you can see a succession of nine springs as well as a series of minor monoliths associated with another group of springs, an altar or ushnu formed by a 18 x 34 meter (59 x 112 feet) rectangular platform that was related to the worship of the sun and to astronomical observation, and the Intihuatana, a stone block carved with various patterns.
