  We started a 1 hour walk back and forth, to make the route of the stone forest. As we make the route of the stone forest through each of the main and secondary areas we can find different forms of stones : of animals, people, vegetables, simulating a series of images that with a little imagination build, in each person who sees them, a series of experiences of the zone of pre-Inca culture. In the main square there are different simulations in which are the famous “parents” dressed in their robes; we continue the tour and we meet “the bride and groom”, “the couple” singular figure which simulates bonds of love between a man and a woman; later we can see “the hands of God” about to start a prayer. In addition, the wild flora is appreciated, mainly the ichu, typical of the area.
