Legend Many locals believe that this stone was brought from space by green aliens, similar to these monkeys drawn on the surface. They could bring large rocks in their small ships, or also move from one place to another despite their small machines, because in space there is no gravity, they can rise or fall without problem. But to enter the earth they invented a device that counteracts this phenomenon. In a distant star fifty extraterrestrials carved and fifty painted it, among the hundred who built it they came from a distance to leave it on earth, they looked for a beautiful place, where many people come to visit and they chose precisely the sector where one day Sucúa would be located. This happened millions of years ago so the paintings were erased, but the carving remains intact until today. This belief has allowed many people to come and visit this stone since it has a lot of scientific, archaeological and tourist interest.
