More than two thousand years ago an Aztecan tribe called The Tecoxquines (Throat Cutters) chipped images into the volcanic rock along the river Las Piletas. The petroglyphs are believed to have many symbolic meanings such as prayers or offerings to the gods, to promote health and fertility and to encourage the return of the rains for successful crops. The Alta Vista hike will take you along the Piletas river where you can find the ancient petroglyphs preserved in the surrounding rocks and stones. The hike will lead you under an immense canopy of tropical forest where your naturalist guide will teach you about the local flora and fauna as well as the indigenous & cultural history of the area. As you come to the end of the trail you will be amazed by the beauty and peacefulness of the sacred pools and the array of petroglyphs surrounding you. Here you can take this time to contemplate, watch the butterflies or wander around.
