    The Arqueo Museo Hojas Jaboncillo at Picoazá near Portoviejo, Ecuador, exhibits finds from the nearby archaeological park Cerro Hojas Jaboncillo. Artifacts from the Manteño culture which occupied much of the coast of Ecuador during the Integration Period (500 to 1531 AD) include heavy U-shaped stone chairs used during rituals by the pre-Hispanic Manteño elites to symbolize their chiefly authority.

    This is a place where you'll understand better the precolumbian cultures of the coast, what they were doing and also the actual traditions of the local people around.

    An interesting archeological site with ruins all the way up a mountain where the Manteña culture were situated. The guides (who only speak spanish) invite you to learn about the current culture in the town of Picoazá at the same time. A good hike up the hill, but contains useful resting points at exactly the right places.

    (Translated by Google) The Jaboncillo Leaves Archaeological Park encompasses an area of ​​more than 3,500 hectares located in a bio diverse mountain chain with several floors and areas of tropical dry and humid tropical life, located between the Portoviejo, Montecristi and Jaramijó cantons, 30 kilometers from the coastal edge, which reaches 650 meters above sea level. Within the 3,500 hectares there are at least 600 monumental structures belonging to the Manteña Culture, evidence of a possible pre-Hispanic “City” of great magnitude, related to the economy and the sacred valuation of the Spondylus shell and the famous stone chairs or seats in U-shape. Within the Archaeological Park, the area of ​​the “Camino de El Puma” of about 50 hectares located about 300 meters above sea level has been developed, where investigations are carried out and the architectural structures associated with routes have been valued and walkways, which also allow contact with the dry tropical forest within which the ceibo and the holy stick stand out. The area described above is articulated to the Research Center and future museum, within the Picoazá parish, Portoviejo canton.

Dentro de las 3.500 hectáreas se encuentran al menos 600 estructuras monumentales pertenecientes a la Cultura Manteña, evidencia de una posible “Ciudad” prehispánica de envergadura, relacionada con la economía y la valoración sagrada de la concha Spondylus y las famosas sillas o asientos de piedra en forma de “U”. Dentro del Parque Arqueológico se ha desarrollado la zona del llamado “Camino de El Puma” de alrededor de 50 hectáreas situadas a unos 300 metros sobre el nivel del mar, donde se realizan las investigaciones y se han puesto en valor las estructuras arquitectónicas asociadas a recorridos y caminerías, que permiten además el contacto con el bosque tropical seco dentro del cual destacan el ceibo y el palo santo.

    Beautiful place with interesting artifacts. Guides are not experts.

    Un lugar fantástico, es la palabra adecuada a un sitio que te transporta en el tiempo con cada una de las piezas del museo que te cuentan una historia y otras te hacen imaginar y que te envuelve con su pasado para conocer las raíces de un pueblo amable y amigable que realmente no sólo puedes conversar, sino que realmente llegas a ser amigo de esa linda gente...

    (Translated by Google) In honor of the truth, it is extremely interesting when the guide begins to explain everything related to the culture that settled there. The way they settled is very similar to Machu Pichu, they relate to other cultures that have many similarities in terms of trade and life in general. Highly recommended (Original) En honor a la verdad es sumamente interesante cuando la guía te empieza a explicar todo lo relacionado con la cultura que se asentó alli.
