Zhin - The Moon temple

These are agricultural terraces asociated with lunar adoration. These are located on the lower hills of mount Iñahuarte in Azogues. Several archaeological studies relate the site to be Cañari, the construction is much diferent from the Inca style.

Near the summit of Zhin hill there is a large construction called Kallaka, it is considered to be a military building from the Cañari people. A few feet from this first building there are rests of walls and terraces which could have been an habitational complex.
