It also serves as a milestone menhir as is found in the municipalities of Clean, Liendo and Ampuero.
Access: Take a turnoff to the right, just at the crossroads facing a very nice stone bench. Follow this trail about 550 m to reach the second white fence where we parked the car. From here we began the climb without any difficulty and without leaving the road. Pass by eucalyptus and pine trees, up to a hill where you turn to the right to reach the Menhir Yelso after a few hundred meters.
