Brief Description
"Several monumental statues of human figures can be seen in the park, which also contains many hypogea dating from the 6th to the 10th century. These huge underground tombs (some burial chambers are up to 12 m wide) are decorated with motifs that reproduce the internal decor of homes of the period. They reveal the social complexity and cultural wealth of a pre-Hispanic society in the northern Andes."
铁拉登特罗国家考古公园
"公园有许多巨大的人体雕塑，包括6至10世纪的大量古代地下墓室。这些巨大地下墓穴（有的墓室宽达12米）都饰有这一时期家庭室内装饰用的图案，体现了安第斯山脉北部早期拉丁美洲社会的复杂性和文化的丰富性。"
