This site, declared an archaeological zone, is home to an impressive collection of cave paintings dating back thousands of years. Distributed among plains and rocky elevations, these graphic manifestations reflect the cosmovision of ancient hunter-gatherer peoples. To walk through Arroyo Seco is to enter a natural canvas where each stroke tells an ancestral story.
