UNESCO Rock Paintings

The oldest rock paintings in the Sierra San Francisco predate the birth of Christ (c. 100 B.C), and there are a number of painted rock ledges in the Sierra San Francisco.

Altogether, they make up the most important prehistoric rock art compound in the entire Americas and were declared a Cultural World Heritage site in 1993. Surprisingly well preserved, they offer fascinating insights into the lifestyle and beliefs of an ancient society thousands of years ago.

Best time to go

The weather is great all year round and it can get particularly hot in the summer months with occasional tropical rains and storms in August and September. Winds are generally stronger and bring cooler air during the winter months – perhaps the best time to visit Baja California. Spring brings warmer temperatures with the least amount of rain. January to March is the best season to see migrating whales give birth in the lagoons.
