ETHNIC EXPLORER

Join your archaeological guide and journey to the town of Chilacayota, approximately 45 minutes south of Mazatlan, where you'll discover the most ancient native expressions in Northern Mexico - the Las Labradas Petroglyphs.  These ancient writings, dating back as far as 1,500 years ago, are the only petroglyphs in a beachside location in the Americas. 

Your expert guide will assist you in translating the pictures and writings, which depict the visions and beliefs of the native people many centuries past.  The tour will continue to the fishing village of Barras de Piaxtla, where you will enjoy a traditional home-cooked delicacy at a local restaurant and have time to explore the area - even swim at the beautiful beach.  This tour is truly an amazing voyage into the past!
