Petroglyphs
|
|
|
|
One of Caborca's more popular and interesting attractions is the petroglyphs that
were etched in stone by ancient inhabitants thousands of years ago.

The region where Caborca is located has
been inhabited by ancient native cultures
that had fairly advanced civilizations
covering geographical areas from south of
here to parts of what is now Arizona.
The Mogollon peoples inhabited the area
from approximately 600 B.C. to 1400 A.D.
Other native inhabitants included the
Azasazi (100 B.C. to 1450 A.D.) and the
Hohokam (300 B.C. to 1400 A.D.).

There is a large number of stone
carvings on two hills, La
Proveedora and San Jose. Both
hills are on a private ranch,
however, so visits must be
arranged in advance. As you can
see from the pictures, this is an
all-ages hiking activity (I took these
pictures while on a visit with my
daughter's first-grade class).
