Complejo Arqueológico Gualimán

Gualimán Fortress of the Karas.

The plateau where the refuge of an original population that lived in the northern part of the Ecuadorian Andes and part of the south of Colombia is located, at approximately 1100 meters above sea level, is part of the archaeological and housing complex of the Karas peoples, a population with nomadic characteristics in its habitat and stationary survival skills in agriculture, astronomy, goldsmithing and the melting of metals typical of the area where they settled. 

The knowledge of their cultural practices and traditions are part of the knowledge that is shared in this archaeological and ancestral living site that is part of the pre-Columbian cultures of the nation.
