But its creator, self-taught sculptor Crist\u00f3bal Buena\u00f1o, revealed a different mystery: he carved it into the rock as an allegory of the eternal struggle between human reason and instinct. This enigmatic landmark is located in Tandapi, five kilometres from the village along the Al\u00f3ag\u2013Santo Domingo road. You can visit for free and stop by the roadside to take photographs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e38c43 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"3e38c43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-56159 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-twentyseventeen-featured-image'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"3e38c43\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"1\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTYxOTYsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9lY3VhZG9yLnRyYXZlbFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNlwvMTBcLzEucG5nIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiM2UzOGM0MyJ9\" href='https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1.png\" class=\"attachment-twentyseventeen-featured-image size-twentyseventeen-featured-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1.png 1200w, https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1-768x403.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"3e38c43\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"2\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTYyMDMsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9lY3VhZG9yLnRyYXZlbFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNlwvMTBcLzIucG5nIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiM2UzOGM0MyJ9\" href='https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2.png\" class=\"attachment-twentyseventeen-featured-image size-twentyseventeen-featured-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2.png 1200w, https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/ecuador.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2-768x403.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46319ba elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46319ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Cave of the Tayos (Morona Santiago)<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8044fed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8044fed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Deep in the darkness of caves inhabited by oilbirds, known locally as tayos, rumours have circulated since the late 1960s of an ancient metal library hidden underground.
