Place Ecuador – Sucumbíos. Near San Pablo de Kantesiya.
Description Structural detail of the southwest corner, corresponding to the meeting point between the semi-octagonal and the longitudinal sectors. It can be noticed how the roof structure is supported by a set of two beams that becomes one single beam in the octagonal area. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for the rafters to go all the way through the sticks that form the exterior enclosure and end outside the house, their ends being left exposed to the elements.
