Who wants to go?
Deep in the Amazon rainforest, there's this mountain called Cerro El Cono that's pretty special and mysterious.
It's in an area known as the Sierra del Divisor or "The Watershed Mountains," which is famous for its diverse wildlife and is even home to some Indigenous tribes that haven't been contacted.
The locals see this mountain, shaped like a pyramid, as a big deal culturally and spiritually. They think of it as an Andean Apu, kind of like a spirit that represents the mountain and protects the people living there.
This tradition goes way back to the time of the Inca Empire in Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia.
