Sierra de San Francisco: The Sierra de San Francisco offers a unique and impressive experience in Baja California with its cave paintings. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to some of the world’s best-preserved and most impressive rock art sites known as the “great murals.” There are over 400 sites in the region, with most remaining intact and in good condition due to the dry climate and remote location. Visitors can explore steep canyons to discover rock cave shelters and huge panels adorned with depictions of human figures and wildlife in red, black, white, and yellow.

San Borjitas: Carbon-dated to be 7,500 years old, these are believed to be the oldest cave paintings in North America, and they are also some of the most impressive in Baja California. These are the most impressive cave paintings on the peninsula. The canvas for the paintings is a 30-meter long cave overhang with the ceiling containing over 80 monos (human figures). The monos are bi-colored, with one half painted in black and the other half in red. Monos also appear at right angles to one another, forming an open network of bodies loosely woven together, another distinguishing feature for the San Borjitas paintings.
