However through anthropological studies, of chronicles of the 16th and 17th centries made by espanole and mestizos, and stories oral of the descendants far from pre-Columbian cultures, versions of the myths created by the cultures that inhabited our territory have come down to us.These myths have been mixed and modified with the stories of the current indigenous tribes.
