Although little-known, this monolith is an important example of the influence of Tihuanacota culture in the region.
The monolith presents a characteristic Tihuanacota style, with a winged cross that rotates clockwise.

The Tihuanacotta culture is known for its achievements in architecture, ceramics and metallurgy, and its influence spread for much of the Andean region.
The Huaca de Moho is an important place for understanding the history and culture of the Puno region, and is an interesting destination for tourists and researchers looking to learn more about Tihuanacota culture.
