La Trinidad Rock Paintings
Pinturas rupestres de La Trinidad
Rock paintings and petroglyph sites in a canyon west of Mulegé, depicting fish, deer and human figures. A guide is required to visit.
La Trinidad lies in the mountain ranch country west of Mulegé, where painted rock art and petroglyphs are scattered along a canyon. The motifs are mainly deer, fish, sea turtles and human figures, and the colors are well preserved. A typical trip includes a four-wheel-drive ride on a dirt road and a canyon hike. Some sections require climbing or wading across rock pools, so it suits travelers with a reasonable level of fitness. A licensed guide must accompany you. It is often scheduled as a separate day trip from Cueva de San Borjitas. Bring plenty of water and sun protection.
