The Sejos – Cuquillo megalithic area is a group of menhirs, mounds and circular structures with slabs of rocks from the Neolithic period. It’s located on the border of Polaciones and The Campoo – Cabuérniga Commonwealth. We suggest setting off from Puente Pumar if you plan to visit. At the exit towards Uznayo, you’ll see a path on the left next to a barn. The path goes uphill until you reach a fence that separates the Saja and Nansa valleys. You’ll notice a diagonal boulder. It’s the menhir known as Jincá Rock or “El Hitón.” Up ahead, enclosed within a shabby wooden fence are the Sejos Menhirs. They are a group of 5 stone slabs—two of them engraved with signs—almost 3 meters long which could have been part of a cromlech monument.

To return, go back to Jincá Rock and go back around the side of La Concilla, the cone-shaped mountain that’s on the right. The route will take you to Los Escajos meadow and from there to the peat-filled Avellanosa hill, which is a surprisingly black landscape. It’s a fairly visible trail that will take you back to Puente Pumar. During rutting season, it’s fairly easy to listen to the deer challenging each other.

**If you want to go up to Sejos taking an easier route, you can set off from Uznayo.
