The monument has became part of the cultural heritage of the nation, and the Congolón Hill, Coyocutena and Piedra Parada “should be considered and kept as a work of architecture, a sculpture carved not by humans, but by nature, which are endowed with unusual scenic beauty and abundant natural resources,” according to the decree passed by Congress.

Consequently it is the obligation of the State to ensure the preservation of this natural area. In addition to its scenic beauty, it is necessary for the sustained development of human settlements and the survival of wild species of both flora and fauna, says the decree in its preamble. The monuments are considered part of the nation’s cultural heritage, believed to be pre-Columbian, and are of historical and anthropological interest.
