Trinidad and the Valley de los Ingenios
The city was founded in the early 16th century in honor of the Holy Trinity as a bridgehead for the conquest of the Americas. Its 18th- and 19th-century buildings, such as the Palacio Brunet and Palacio Cantero, were built during the boom years of the sugar trade.
Rock Paintings of the Sierra de San Francisco
From 100 BC to 1300 AD, the San Francisco Mountains (in the El Vizcaino Reserve in Baja California) were home to a group of people who have now vanished, but who left behind one of the world's most outstanding collections of rock art. The dry climate and inaccessibility of the area have allowed the paintings to be extremely well preserved. The paintings depict human figures and many animal species, and depict the relationship between humans and the environment, revealing a highly sophisticated culture. The composition and size of the paintings, the precision of the outlines and the diversity of the colors, and above all the number of rock art sites, are impressive testimony to a unique artistic tradition.
