Las Labradas, Petroglyphic site on the Pacific coast in San Ignacio Municipality, Mexico

Las Labradas contains hundreds of rock carvings spread across volcanic boulders directly on the beach of the Sea of Cortez.

The petroglyphs at this archaeological site date back to the ninth and tenth centuries, representing the artistic legacy of ancient Toltec civilization.

The rock carvings depict an array of subjects including human figures, marine creatures, plants, and geometric patterns that reflect pre-Hispanic cultural expressions.

Visitors can enhance their experience by using cell phone cameras with specific angles to better observe the details carved into the dark volcanic rocks.

Las Labradas holds Mexico's largest collection of seaside petroglyphs, with carvings visible on almost every boulder along the shoreline.
