breather, Miguel stopped for a smoke. We took countless pictures of cacti, lizards, and other such fl ora and fauna, which made Miguel grin as it was probably like someone taking pictures of dandelions and mosquitoes where we live. We gained considerable elevation, and were treated to incredible views of the valley below, and the Sea of Cortez far in the distance. Eventually we reached the top, and had a brief rest while our guide hunted around for a lost memory of the location of the caves. We were then waved on, and made our way along a narrow ledge to the fi rst of two small caves.
The Paintings... Although they don’t look like much
in the photos, the faded cave paintings emitted an almost overwhelming sense of history, timelessness, and awe. Seeing ancient art in its original location, without tour buses and interpretive signs, made the experience unforgettable. I’m
not sure how much time we spent in the caves, taking photos and discussing the motivation and meaning of the paintings, but we fi nally had to leave as we still had a long hike and drive ahead of us.
We had a quick bite to eat while Miguel had another smoke, then slowly picked our way down between the prickly cacti. An hour or so later we were back in the truck, and heading back to San Javier.
