Dozens of seabirds live here, and three of them are unique to the Northern Mariana Islands. species. The observation deck and the observation trail are built along the cliff.

Visit: Ancient Latte Stone Quarry

     Taga Latty Stone Quarry, Rota 

       Rota Latty Stone Quarry

       Rota Latte Stone Quarry, also known as the As Nieves quarry, is located near the Chamorro village of 

       Sinapalo, on the island of Rota in the Marianas.The prehistoric megaliths found there are believed to 

       have been used as foundation pillars for houses, with some of them weighing up to 35 tons. Their exact  

       age, origin, methods of quarrying and means of transportation have not been determined.

        A latte stone pillar (also called a taga stone)^[2] is a two-piece structure consisting of a base (haligi) and            hemispherical cap (tasa), with the flat side turned upwards. It is believed that the prehistoric latte stone            pillars were used as housing foundations for the indigenous culture of the Marianas. The homes sat on            top of two parallel rows of the pillars, and the Chamorro, or their ancestors, buried their dead between 

        the rows.^[3] The stones pre-date any retained oral history of the Chamorro, who cite the original source  

        of the stones as the "taotaomona" (before time people). The exact age of the stones has not been 

        determined, but some are believed to date back to at least 845 AD. Carbon dating places the indigenous 

        population as far back as 3,000 BC.^[4].
