Place Ecuador – Sucumbíos. Near San Pablo de Kantesiya.
Description An interior view from the southwest. It shows the central space of the house, a sacred area that was supposed to remain empty. Also visible are the beams and columns that go around this area and become the points of reference about the use of space, as the house has no interior walls. This system of beams and columns also helps to brace the structure and make it stronger.
