The farm is very close to the Tulipe town and site museum.
Tulipe means “water that comes down from the tolas”. The Tulipe Site Museum and Ceremonial Center is a subtropical sanctuary where the ancient inhabitants of the area captured their knowledge of Astronomy, Geometry and Architecture in monumental structures to honor their gods with purification rites.
The Yumbo culture survived incursions by both the Inca in the 1520s and the Spanish a little more than a decade later by playing a non-threatening role as merchants, creating a place for their skill set within the complex structures of both conquering civilizations.
It is very likely that the Yumbos were the first to travel through this land about 1000 years ago as commercialist between the coast and the highlands. The most important Yumbo site recently discovered in Tulipe is 29 km to the southwest of the Pululahua. It is connected to this crater through trails that cross the Santa Lucia Reserve and the Maquipucuna Reserve. The Caranquis were also near this crater at 15 km to the north east with a pyramid in Alance. This pyramid is also connected to this crater through very old trails that cross the Rio Guallabamba. The Incas used these trails in their infiltration into the Yumbo and Caranqui civilizations. The Spanish used the same Yumbo trails in their multiple attempts to conquer the Yumbo country and the province of Esmeraldas. Many of these trails are still used today, but most of them have been destroyed by the construction of roads.
There are many fortresses called Pucaras constructed around this area. These were used as strategic monitoring hills, some of them as ceremonial sites, and others as observatories–especially for the sun. The closest one is Rumicucho at only 6.5 km to the north east; there is also the Portalanza fortress (identified by Ronald D. Lippi) at the boundaries of the Pululahua Reserve at 9 km to the north, and other fortresses such as La Marca, Trigoloma, Guallabamba (studied by A Fresco and Plaza) within a 10 km radius of the crater.
