Join your archaeological
guide and journey to the town of Chilacayota,
approximately 45 minutes south of Mazatlan,

expressions in Northern Mexico - the Las
Labradas Petroglyphs. These ancient

which depict the visions and beliefs of the
native people many centuries past. The

Barras de Piaxtla, where you will enjoy a

even swim at the beautiful beach. This
