Sierra de Guadalupe cave paintings

The cave walls display numerous pictographs featuring deer, marine creatures, human figures, hand prints, and abstract geometric patterns in red and black colors.

The paintings were created by the Guachimi people who lived in this region between 100 BCE and 1300 CE, extending their territory across the Baja California peninsula.

These ancient artworks provide evidence of the ceremonial practices and daily activities of prehistoric communities through their detailed representations of animals and humans.

Visitors need to arrange guided tours in advance and prepare for physical challenges, as reaching the cave sites involves hiking through desert terrain.

The Trinidad deer painting stands as one of the most detailed animal depictions found among the rock art sites in the entire Baja California region.
