CAVE PAINTINGS
OF THE SIERRA DE SAN FRANCISCO
Nov. 5-12, 2005 •
June 10-17, 2006
An invitation to unusual travel...an adventure on muleback
into the mountains, midway down the peninsula to explore the rugged
terrain, delicate ecology and Grand Murals found there. These murals,
painted by an unknown people, represent some of the most distinctive
rock art in North America. Publicized by author Earle Stanley Gardner
in 1962, the murals are a treasured part of Baja's history.
 Experience
breathtaking scenery as you descend on mule to explore this mysterious
and beautiful canyon, for four days. Some of the caves we'll visit are
Cueva Pintada, the most well-known cave with 500 ft. of well-preserved
painted walls; Cueva de las Fletchas, named for painted human figures
impaled with arrows; Cueva de la Soledad, that includes a checkerboard
form and paintings of deer, rabbit, and birds; Boca de San Julio, a
beautiful cave filled with paintings of deer, birds, and hybrid creatures
of human and animal forms; and Cueva de Los Musicos. At night, watch
a canopy of stars stretch above you, and enjoy food and conversation
before climbing into your tent for the evening.

nights hotel accommodations, four nights camping in the canyon, all
