Chullpas de Cutimbo: This archaeological complex had an extensive occupation (pre Inca and Incas), it was a ceremonial and ritual center. This place belonged to a local chief named Pedro Cutimbo. Here we can find the famous "Chullpas de Cutimbo" of circular, rectangular and square shapes; from the most rustic to the most complex (with cornices and up to 8.5 meters). You can also see in the chullpas carved figures of animals such as felines, vizcacha (Andean squirrel), monkeys and snakes.
Ceremonial Center to the Death: Built for the cult to the death (the step towards the other life). In the center of this complex we find the "Ushno" or temple formed with two different types of rocks, in the interior you can see 5 niches (3 to the west, 2 to the south and north).
