"The name 'Chuchini' means 'Den of the Jaguar', one of around 100 mammal species you find here," Miriam explained. "There are also more than 300 species of birds." More than 1,500 artefacts – notably, finely worked ceramic pots, urns and figurines produced by the earthwork-builders – have been excavated in the reserve and more are being discovered all the time (including, recently, an adult skeleton).
