| Tulipe was the ceremonial center of the Yumbo culture, which inhabited the region from 800-1660. The sun-dial and circular pool has been in continuous use for many centuries. On the equinox days, the sun's shadow lands on the stone platform. At noon on the equinox, the sun casts no shadow (only occurs because it is located exactly on the equator). |
