In a land of wonder and mystery,
Where ancient ruins tell a tale,
Of a people long gone but not forgotten,
Whose history we can unveil.

There's a basin where the water flows,
And a mural on the wall,
Depicting stories of the past,
Of the indigenous, strong and tall.

In the distance lies a gorge,
Where the Ring of Fire burns bright,
A reminder of the power of nature,
And the majesty of its might.

But beware the conquerors of old,
The conquistadors who came and went,
Leaving a trail of destruction,
And a legacy we cannot forget.

Yet even in the midst of ruins,
A glimmer of hope can be found,
For a mighty aqueduct still stands,
A testament to the ingenuity of the ground.

So let us honor those who came before,
And learn from their wisdom and grace,
For in their legacy lies a treasure trove,
That we can never replace.
