The Altavista petrogylph complex is located near the village and beach-town of Chacala, in Nayarit Mexico. This region was originally home to the largely unstudied Tecoxquin (Tequectequi) indigenous culture dating from approximately 2000 BC to 2300 BCE.[1] It contains 56 petroglyphs whose antiguity cannot be accurately determined. Aside from its cultural and archelogical importance, the site remains an important religious center for the Huicholes who still leave offerings and perform ceremonites here.[2]
