In my region or place where I live as a tourist is

THE STONES OF THE TUNJO

this is located in facatativa cundinamarca
In Cundinamarca is the Archaeological Park of Facatativá, also known as the Piedras del Tunjo,
with large rock shelters and mysterious cave paintings. Certain myths indicate that its origin is
diabolic. Some studies place the paintings in the pre-ceramic period, 8,000 years ago. Although
today the paintings are badly damaged by human and natural agents, the Park is a great place for
family recreation. Points like the stone of the frog or the stone of the presidents are its main sites.
Legend has it that once a priest from Quito and the devil made a deal. The priest wanted to build a big
church. Not just any church, of course, he could do that, but the biggest church. So big that he needed help.
And he turned to the devil, who took his soul from the priest as a price. Once the agreement was made, the
operation began. The devil and his workers—little devils, perhaps—began to bring huge rocks from North
America to South America. When they were going through the Cundiboyacense highlands, the devil
learned that the priest had fled, perhaps repentant, perhaps to avoid paying the price but, in any case, the
mission had to be aborted. Frustrated, the devil and his people threw the stones on the road and went back
to their business. That is the founding legend of the Facatativá Archaeological Park, of its rocky shelters
that rise from the ground as if the earth had shaken to remain so.
