The California Rock Art Foundation is pleased to announce limited openings on the New Moon Great Murals Pack Trip in Baja, Mexico. In collaboration with our partners at Saddling South, we have organized an extraordinary trip into the remote mountains of the Sierra de San Francisco – the heart of the Great Murals Rock Painting Tradition. Our expedition seeks to reach Cueva de la Serpiente (Cave of the Serpent), Mono Alto and Super-nova, three of the most significant sites in the region.
Cueva de la Serpiente
At Cueva de la Serpiente, can be found the most extraordinary composition in the Great Mural area. This 26-foot-long panel was apparently painted by one artist. No other site displays fanciful creatures like these deer-headed serpents, nor do others show large groups of interrelated figures like those clustering around the sinuous body of the snake-monster on the right.
Palmarito
In its highest row of paintings, a collection of human figures displays unusually varied headdresses and decorations. Some appear clothed, a possibility so welcome to the decorous Jesuits that it contributed to their belief that the region had once been populated by a more civilized people.
TRIP DETAILS:
Dates: March 6-13, 2019*; 8 days
*Dates subject to flight availability.
Cost per person: $2500 per person
Food and tent lodging included.
No discounts available.
Meeting location/time: Loreto, Mexico; location/time TBA.
This trip requires rigorous camping, mule riding, and hiking
in the rugged Baja outback. The ride into Parral canyon is often difficult and daunting to beginner riders. There are no pools of water and camp is not very shady or groomed. It is definitely a wilderness experience. Must be in good physical condition. No children. No pets.
Space is limited.
COMPLETE ITINERARY
REGISTRATION FOR THIS TRIP WILL BE HANDLED BY SADDLING SOUTH.
