We moved to the area "La Bocana", an interesting site of cave paintings may be of Cochimi culture. The whole area is also dotted by fossil remains of shells similar to the genus Turritella and strains of corals and coral, a clear sign that in the past the whole area was under the sea surface.
We arrived in a canyon with the presence of water known as El Palmarito. The place is very impressive for the stronger the contrast between the barren rocky landscape dotted with a thousand species of cactuses and the part in contact with water that has a deep green color with hundreds of lush green palm trees.
All around this explosion of life stands a rock wall mainly covered by petroglyphs. We are still not able to establish if this incisions are Cochimi or of an anterior culture.

Then we were in two spectacular locations in the desert.
The first called "Rancho Bachata", reached after an hour of hard off-road abandoned the trans peninsular. The second, always in the desert, is located in an area dotted with a myriad of huge granite rounded boulders and cactuses; in this place it opens in granite the "Cueva de la Langosta" (Cave of the lobster). At the "Rancho Bachata" We documented a raft of petroglyphs on the granite belonging to the culture Cochimì, prior and contemporary to the first Jesuit missions of the eighteenth century.
Instead in the area of Langosta there are interesting rock paintings, one of which resembles a lobster in a large geode granite excavated from the elements. These pictures are, at the moment, the most northern so far discovered of the kind "Great mural" dated 3 to 5,000 years ago. Now we go to the Sierra de la Asamblea, where on horseback will go up to 1600 meters to explore the mesas (highlands) and the canyons of the mountain. There we we stay the night outdoors for six or seven days.
