The temple ruins on the peaks are used for the island festival on January 20th every year. There will be a competition on this day. Half of the island's population gathers at one of the two temples, and one runner runs to a point between the two buildings. According to tradition, a victory for Pachamama (which one of the two peaks represents) would bring a good harvest the next year).
