The most catchy moments of this touring experience was the down-to-earth explanations supported with ethnographic and anthropological facts that our guide, Leo, was able to retrieve at any of our questions related to this archeaological site. It was a worthwhile experience for all of us interested in history, ancient civilazations, and the like.

Very interesting rock placement, precision cutting and connections that are impossible today but done centuries before Christ. It would be a real game changer knowing how and actually who accomplished this. Some of the rock foundations slabs must weigh hundreds of tons but we're placed like pieces of a puzzle with connecting features, that prevented these huge slabs from separating from some extreme force, that make you wonder what exactly this was designed for and by whom. A time machine would help!
