What travelers say:

Tongo Mountain is a special example of composite buildings that still exist on Earth today. Here, architecture has a deeper meaning for people living in the area. It represents their history and bloodline. In Tarrant, the word "blood" means almost the same as "house". In traditional habits they also build houses with soil to cover the birth, marriage and death of everyone in the family, creating their homes in a genealogical form. The plasticity of soil allows residents to continuously visually transform the structures of these houses. Their houses have changed dramatically from one generation to another.
