About 200 rocks with geometric and non-figurative designs (such as crosses and spirals) are found here, followed by zoomorphic (such as fish, lizards, and birds) and anthropomorphs (with staffs and headdresses or simple faces). The identified designs are oriented towards the sky, towards Lake Nicaragua, the Orosi volcano, and the Pacific Ocean.
