Il parere della Guida Michelin
Nicknamed Cojines del Diablo by the Spanish ("Cushions of the Devil"), these two large stone disks are testament to the importance of the worship of the sun god in pre-Columbian times. Dances and, occasionally, the Muiscas' human sacrifices took place here. A particularly bloody ritual consisted of ripping the hearts out of 12 year-old boys and spreading their blood on the Cojines del Zaque to obtain fertile lands and abundant harvests.
