In this granite rock there are footprints of human feet carved by the ancient inhabitants to look like the marks left by a man walking, and thus show the direction of the ritual path from the Main Temple to the Palace. There is a local legend where it is narrated that a giant or a man of formidable strength, called Tehua, managed to move large blocks of stone to build Tehuacalco and, when finished, stamped his footprints on this place, which we now know as the Stone of the Carved Feet.
