Itaida Menhir is located by the junction of the track that leads from Opakua Mountain Pass to Urbasa. It is a unique vertical stone pointing at the sky.
All the area served as burial place for the shepherds who in the past lived in the area. In fact, we will find a dolmen and several burial mounds nearby. As it is the case of most megalithic monuments in the area, the menhir is prior to 2500 b.C.
