The Rock Paintings of Sierra de San Francisco are an extraordinary collection of prehistoric art located in the rugged mountain region of Baja California Sur, Mexico. These paintings, which date back to between 100 B.C. and A.D. 1300, are attributed to the ancient Cochimi people. The artworks are found in numerous rock shelters and caves, featuring vivid depictions of humans, animals, and abstract symbols. The vibrant red, black, white, and yellow pigments used have remarkably withstood the test of time, providing significant insights into the region's early inhabitants.
