In the year 2023, in addition to incorporating new carvings in its interior, the figures that we find next to the road were also created. It was in this same year, when the author decided to add color to his carvings. Since then, all the works have more detail and definition. On November 17, a group of people painted and destroyed part of the works in this forest. Fortunately, some of them are still in perfect condition.
