Ancient Village in Zamora-Chinchipe Province, Ecuador
A Mayo-Chinchipe culture site originally dating from 3500 BCE. The main structures include a sunken plaza and artificial platforms.
"The eastern platform served as the base of a temple with a spiral configuration, at the center of which lay a ceremonial hearth with a cache of greenstone offerings. Several tombs have been documented with fine ceramic vessels; exquisite polished stone bowls and mortars, as well as hundreds of turquoise and malachite beads fragments of Strombus sea shells, and small sculptures."
Francisco Valdez, lead archaeologist.
On the UNESCO World Heritage tentative list: Mayo Chinchipe - Marañón archaeological landscape.
